Your Opportunity as an Analyst in Corporate Treasury

Corporate Treasury manages Morgan Stanley’s financial resources on a global basis to help the firm achieve its commercial objectives. As an Analyst in Corporate Treasury’s tightly-knit program, you will be afforded a broad-based exposure to the inner workings of an investment bank and “big picture” insight into financial markets and decisions that drive how Morgan Stanley is run on a day-to-day basis. Your responsibilities will require global interaction and collaboration not only with members of senior management but with Treasury’s internal business partners as well.

The Analyst Program in Corporate Treasury
How the program works and the day-to-day experience you can expect

The Corporate Treasury Analyst program is typically a two-year program. Analysts will be exposed to rotations through the five main groups within Corporate Treasury – Planning, Financing, Creditor Relations, Risk and Insurance, and Morgan Stanley Bank. Analysts will also have the opportunity to work on a variety of integrated and critical tasks including price/value options, calculating the firm’s Value at Risk, analyzing the firm’s capital structure, management of liquidity risk, running an efficient contingency funding plan, learning how to hedge currencies and manage a multi-billion dollar debt portfolio, and monitoring industry trends and competitor performance. This broad-based experience, the continual training and career development opportunities, as well as daily collaboration with senior management in a fast-paced, stimulating environment provide Corporate Treasury Analysts with a solid career foundation.

Launching Your Career
The initial training that you receive on starting the program

The Corporate Treasury Analyst Program begins in July with a three-week firmwide training program where Analysts will receive a broad-based introduction to Finance and Accounting as well as an overview of the securities industry. Corporate Treasury then supplements the broader training schedule with Treasury-specific training that provides a greater understanding of the five groups within Treasury. At this point, the incoming Analysts will make use of Treasurer’s University, our own online training database, as well as Analyst-run sessions giving hands-on training on Bloomberg, Bluebook, and Microsoft Excel. Throughout the program, social events provide great opportunities to build the personal and professional relationships crucial to your career development. 

Developing Your Career
What you can anticipate as you make progress and after completing the program

Corporate Treasury views our Analyst pool as an invaluable resource that keeps our department on the cutting edge. Given the smaller size of the department and Analyst pool itself, our Analysts quickly become integrated into the fabric of Treasury and are looked to for new ideas on creating efficient, streamlined processes. Analysts are encouraged to exercise their strong quantitative and technical skills in their day-to-day responsibilities. Within a rotation, you will work directly with managers and officers who rely on the fresh perspective of incoming Analysts. You also will have the benefit of an overall Program Coordinator who provides you with broader support across the department.

Professional Rotations provide chances for mobility. Analysts will participate in at least three rotations amongst the five groups within Treasury. Rotations can range from six months to one year depending on the underlying role.

As members of Corporate Treasury, our Analysts are also encouraged to seize opportunities to further expand or develop their knowledge. As Analysts continue to develop in their careers, we encourage them to keep abreast of recent developments in the market and to continue educating themselves in relevant areas. Learning is never complete and learning opportunities can take many shapes and forms – whether through formal classes, on-the-job training, or tapping colleagues.
