It's time to transform markets 

Existing workflows within syndicated loan and CLO markets are painful for clients: they are outdated, overcomplicated, and time-consuming. It’s time for a change. 

Octaura is reimagining the way these markets trade, with efficiency, transparency, and simplicity at the heart of what we do. We bring trading capabilities, data and analytics together for the first time on a digitized platform–fundamentally transforming the markets and streamlining workflows like never before.  

At Octaura, everyone belongs 

It’s essential that Octaurians are confident in knowing they have the space to use their voice and talents. The world is diverse, and we actively want our team to reflect this. We’re a values-driven company and by engaging, solving, and evolving together, we create a culture that is collaborative, transparent, impactful and innovative. And fun!   

The Opportunity 

Octaura offers exciting summer internship opportunities, especially for those interested in fintech and electronic trading. Jumpstart your career and your entrepreneurial endeavors with a dynamic and innovative company, where you’ll be offered an exciting inside look at how a small business enterprise is run and managed, while learning about the industry and developing applicable and transferable skills to use in their professional career.  

We are seeking motivated and enthusiastic summer interns to join our Finance team. As an Accounting and Finance Intern, you will play a pivotal role on our accounting and finance team, engaging in the preparation of monthly client invoices, weekly vendor payments, and preparation and analysis of monthly financial reports. Your contributions will support the ongoing fully cycle accounting process and engage you in all aspect of the internal accounting function at a dynamic FinTech startup. Additionally, you’ll assist with special projects to enhance and optimize accounting systems and integrations, leading to continued process improvement. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in internal accounting and leverage your expertise.

Interns might be able to participate in a rotational program or sessions, spending time in different departments to gain a holistic understanding of the company. This includes assisting department heads, working closely with associates, and interacting with clients.

The energy in the office is palpable, and employees look forward to coming to work each day. Our flexibility and flat structure will allow you to make life-long connections while diving head-first into the financial and technology industries.
