01Programs
Three ways to join.
Whether you’re a student, an MBA candidate or an experienced professional, there’s a clear way in—and the same standard of ownership once you’re here.
MBA & Graduate
MBA candidates · Summer & full-time
A summer associate program between first and second year, and a two-year post-MBA associate program. Both put you on live work with principals from the start.
MBA & GraduateProfessionals
Experienced hires · Year-round
Experienced hires across investments, operations and external affairs. We hire opportunistically: if you’re exceptional at what you do, we want to hear from you.
Professionals02Why Caldrion
Our distinction.
Most finance careers force a trade-off between scale and agility. At a global bank, you can feel far removed from the decision; at a boutique, you may lack the capital to act. Caldrion removes that compromise.
We are a principal investor: we invest only our own capital. Decisions are made by a small internal investment committee that meets weekly. We need no outside approvals and no fundraising to close.
That structure lets us move with conviction, and your analysis directly informs how capital is allocated. Because our capital is permanent, we take a long view of people as well as assets: we would rather develop you over a career than hire for a single deal.
03How we work
High performance. Uncommon care.
Micromanagement is the enemy of high performance. We hire exceptional people and trust them to use their judgment. Three principles shape how we work every day.
Radical Responsibility
We prize initiative over tenure and expect everyone to act like an owner. If we see a risk, we mitigate it. If we see an opportunity, we seize it. You’ll have the autonomy to run with your ideas, provided rigorous analysis backs them up.
One Firm, Zero Silos
We reject the rigid departments of traditional finance. Real estate teams talk to private credit teams, art specialists inform digital asset theses, and operators understand the nuances of family reputation. The best idea wins, regardless of rank or title.
Sustainable Excellence
We see burnout as a failure of management. Compounding capital over generations means sustaining the people who manage it. We value output over hours, and we want you to disconnect, recharge and pursue interests outside the office.
04Teams
Where you could work.
We hire into three teams: Investments, Operations and External Affairs. Investment roles sit within one of our six pillars; operations and external affairs roles serve the whole firm. Most investment teams are based in New York, while digital assets and Asia-Pacific coverage are led from Sydney.

05Who thrives here
The Caldrion DNA.
We don’t hire on keywords. We hire on character and capability. Technical excellence is the baseline; beyond it, we look for three traits that reflect our values of integrity, initiative and humility.
The Swiss Army Knife
You’re versatile: as comfortable building a complex financial model as navigating a conversation with a founder or a diplomat. In a family office, no task is too small and no challenge too big.
Intellectual Curiosity
You’re a lifelong learner who reads widely and wants to know how the world works, from the mechanics of a blockchain protocol to the zoning laws of a growing municipality.
Low Ego, High Integrity
You recognize what you don’t know and seek it out. You act with integrity and discretion, knowing you’re a steward of the family’s reputation.
06Development
The apprenticeship of capital.
We are a learning organization. You’ll sit in the room where decisions are made, with direct access to principals and sector heads, and learn by working alongside them: how to deconstruct a balance sheet, negotiate a term sheet and judge the intangible qualities of a management team.
Mentorship
Senior colleagues take personal responsibility for your development, reviewing your work and giving candid feedback.
Investment committee exposure
Investment professionals join committee discussions on the opportunities they work on, so you see how risk, structure and people are weighed.
Certifications and study
We support advanced certifications and degrees, such as the CFA, CAIA and CPA, through tuition reimbursement.
Rotation
Opportunities to rotate across our six pillars build breadth, judgment and a view of the whole portfolio.
07Uncommon care
Benefits that sustain you.
We want our people to be healthy, to travel often and to have the financial resources to live well. Benefits vary by office and are confirmed in your offer.
Comprehensive health
Medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your family.
Wealth building
Retirement contributions—401(k) matching in the US and superannuation in Australia—plus performance-based incentives aligned with the firm’s results.
Philanthropic matching
We match employees’ charitable contributions and provide paid time off for volunteering.
Wellness & travel
Generous vacation policies and wellness stipends, so you have the time and space to recharge.
Learning
Tuition support for advanced certifications and degrees, such as the CFA, CAIA and CPA.

09FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Can’t find what you need? Ask the team.
Can I apply to more than one track?
Please submit one application and choose the track that best fits where you are today: Internship if you’re a student, MBA & Graduate if you’re an MBA candidate or a recent master’s graduate, and Professional if you have full-time work experience. If you’d be a stronger fit for another program or team, we’ll consider you for it.
Do I need finance experience?
Not necessarily. For internships and graduate programs, we hire for analytical ability, curiosity and judgment, and we welcome candidates from any discipline. For professional roles, we look for depth in the area you’d join, which may be legal, technology or communications rather than finance.
Are internships paid?
Yes. All of our internships are paid. See Internships for how the program works.
Where are roles based?
Roles are based in our New York and Sydney offices; Where you could work shows where each team sits. Some roles allow a degree of flexibility, which we’ll discuss with you during the process.
Do you sponsor visas?
We assess sponsorship case by case, depending on the role, the office and the immigration rules that apply, and we can’t guarantee it for every role. The application form asks about your work authorization so we can discuss it early.
I don’t see a role that fits. Should I still apply?
Yes. We hire opportunistically rather than only to fill open seats, and when we meet exceptional people, we create space for them. Choose the closest track and team, and tell us where you’d contribute.
How long does the process take?
It depends on the role and on scheduling, but typically a few weeks from first conversation to decision. We aim to keep you informed of where you stand at each step.
What happens to my data?
We use the information you submit to assess your application and to contact you about roles at Caldrion. We keep it only as long as necessary, and depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete it. Our Privacy Policy explains the details.
