Wholesale Digital Office
The Wholesale Digital Office is responsible for Nomura’s work in the realm of digital disruption within financial markets. The team is composed of four primary areas of focus: eTrading Strategy, Fixed Income Quantitative Research, New Business, and Systematic Trading and Research. Each of these teams has a diverse set of expertise including Global Markets domain expertise, quantitative research, machine learning, low latency algorithm development, and disruptive investment. The team primarily focuses on Global Rates, FX, and Credit as well as investments in both Fintech and Digital Assets. The team collectively moves from idea to research to development to production oversight and is an integral part of Nomura’s forward strategy. Covering most major global financial centers, the WDO offers a cross-regional/cross-product perspective that is uniquely situated within the industry.
Programme Overview
Through our nine-week Internship Programme, you will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the possibilities of a career in banking. It is your chance to get a feel for our culture, create new networks and gain valuable on-the-job training. Internships are also the perfect preparation for a subsequent full-time role. Nomura will extend full-time offers to strong performers.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
