About the role

Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation invites a Government Relations Intern for a 10-week summer experience in Washington, DC. You will support lawmakers, regulators, and trade associations while gaining exposure to policy research, legislative analysis, and DTCC PAC activities. The program emphasizes hands-on work, mentorship, and opportunities to connect with leaders. Interns learn about financial markets, regulatory policy, and effective communications in a structured setting.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
