New here? Every junior finance job in London, each one explained in plain English. Start with what the words mean, then work down the board.
No deadline given. It closes when the places fill, which on a sought-after London desk is often weeks after it opens. Apply as if it closes tomorrow.
Goldman's Summer Analyst Program is a nine-to-ten-week summer internship for students pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree, with an orientation, training and real responsibilities alongside the firm's people. This is the 2027 London intake, corporate title Summer Analyst, inside the Global Banking & Markets division. Source
The firm describes its Investment Banking teams as delivering strategic advice and creative financing solutions to clients - mergers and acquisitions, financing, and risk management transactions. On any given day the work could be advising a company on a cross-border merger, structuring the initial public offering of a subsidiary, or refinancing an outstanding bond. Source
Investment Banking is the private side of the wall. You are told things about named companies that the market does not know, which is why the compliance around the seat is heavier and why the summer is spent in Excel and PowerPoint on live mandates rather than watching a screen. The interview follows from that: accounting, valuation, and one deal you can talk about for ten minutes without notes.
there is no team record for this row, and the page is no better: 'Capital Solutions Group' appears in the title and is then never explained, because everything under 'About the division' is the general Investment Banking text. On the name alone, expect the financing side of the bank - how a company or a private-equity sponsor raises capital, in debt, structured and private form, rather than pure M&A advisory. We have not verified that against anything Goldman says here, so make it your first question at first interview rather than an assumption you build a cover letter on.
232 people have held London roles in Goldman Sachs' Investment Banking Division since 2018 - the largest London unit for the firm, and the deepest pool of people to ask what a group actually does before you apply to it.
Because the group is named in the posting, you are choosing your desk at application rather than being allocated after the offer, which is the opposite of how a general investment banking application works. That is worth something if you know you want financing work; it costs you optionality if you do not, because you cannot preference your way into a coverage group later from a seat you asked for by name.
779 people have held London roles at Goldman Sachs as a whole since 2018, across banking, markets, research and asset management.
A 2027 summer programme carrying an August 2026 date on the page is the annual campus cycle opening on time. London banking classes at the bulge brackets fill through the autumn, so the practical window is September and October, whatever the nominal one turns out to be.
No deadline is stated. Goldman reads applications as they arrive and stops when the class is full, so the absence of a date means apply now - a good application in October beats a polished one in the new year.
The programme is for students pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree. Each applicant may apply to up to four separate business and location combinations in any given recruiting year; any additional application is automatically withdrawn, and to apply to another you must withdraw a current application that has not been turned down. Creating multiple email addresses to apply to more opportunities is not permitted. Source
Four applications is the whole year across every Goldman business and every city, and a named-group posting like this one spends a full quarter of that budget on a single desk. If Capital Solutions is a decision, that is a good use of it. If it is a guess, put the application on the broader investment banking seat instead and keep your options open.
1 person. Their role, the page the firm names them on, and how to reach them
Search their name and the firm on LinkedIn.
The route that always works, and the one they are most likely to read.
The firm publishes this person, and publishes no address we could read for anyone here, so there is no pattern to show you either. Search their name and firm on LinkedIn and write from your own account.
Next: read the briefing above, then sign in and track Goldman Sachs so you hear within the hour when it posts again.
