Job Details

About the Position

SPs are versatile generalists who take a deeply analytical and strategic approach to solving Jane Street’s most pressing problems. They move across groups as firm priorities evolve, developing a holistic view of our business and driving cross-functional growth. 

Most SP careers start with a year-long set of rotations across the entirety of Jane Street’s business—including trading, technology, finance, compliance, operations, and more. The rotations help new SPs develop a broadened skill set, strong cross-group connections, and a detailed understanding of how all the pieces of our business fit together. 

This central foundation prepares an SP to take ownership over strategic efforts, both within their team and in cross-functional initiatives. While the rotational year ends with a “permanent” group placement, SPs often move teams throughout their careers as their interests and the firm’s priorities shift. This ultimately allows successful SPs to take an increasingly central role in shaping our business.

If you’d like to learn more, you can explore our Strategy and Product program and interview process here.

About You

We don’t expect you to have a background in finance or any other specific field—we’re looking for smart people who enjoy solving interesting problems. You should be:

  • A professional with a track record of success in challenging, rigorous environments
  • Someone who excels at taking a structured and detailed approach to solving problems, communicates effectively, can drive projects forward, and has exceptional attention to detail
  • Excited to learn about a wide range of disciplines and subject matter, including global market dynamics, technical systems and tooling, operational infrastructure, and more
  • Eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and constantly deepen your understanding
