The team:

Summer Analysts applying for this Global Quantitative Data Analytics Programme will join the Global Risk Management team.

Global Risk Management (GRM) is an enterprise control function that provides independent risk management for Bank of America, ensuring the company pursues its Responsible Growth strategy through strong risk management practices. GRM provides independent second-line oversight of risk-taking activities across the enterprise, assessing and effectively challenging risks while developing, validating, and implementing risk management measures that support effective risk identification, measurement, monitoring, and decision-making.

Programme Overview

The Global Quantitative Data Summer Analyst Programme is a 10-week internship designed to provide insight into how quantitative analysis, data and model-related activities support effective risk management across Bank of America.

As a Summer Analyst, you will gain exposure to how GRM uses analytical techniques, data-driven insights, and model lifecycle processes to identify, measure, monitor and manage risk. Depending on your team alignment, this may include exposure to areas such as model development for enterprise models, model risk management, model use, risk analytics, data analysis, stress testing, scenario analysis, or reporting.

Summer Analysts are given meaningful responsibilities, contributing to real business challenges while developing analytical judgement, problem-solving skills and stakeholder communication. Projects may involve interpreting data, assessing methodologies, documenting analysis, improving processes, or helping teams translate technical information and analytical findings into practical risk insights and decision-making.

The programme offers opportunities across quantitative, analytical, and data-oriented roles. You will build relationships across GRM, collaborate with business partners and gain exposure to senior leaders while developing skills for a career in quantitative and analytical risk management.
