2027 Internal Audit - Information Technology & Cybersecurity Internship

New York | Summer 2027 | 10-Week On-Site Program | Open to Current Juniors

At BBH, Partnership is more than a form of ownership—it’s our approach to business and relationships. We know that supporting your professional and personal goals is the best way to help our clients and advance our business. We take that responsibility seriously. With a 200-year legacy and a shared passion for what’s next, this is the right place to build a fulfilling career.

Where technology, risk, and finance intersect. Start your career at the center of all three.

If you are studying cybersecurity, computer science, information systems, data analytics, or a related field – and you are drawn to understanding how technology works beneath the surface and how it is defended – this internship is your opportunity to apply that curiosity at a 200+ year-old global financial firm. We are especially interested in students with a background and genuine interest in cybersecurity. As an Internal Audit IT Intern supporting BBH’s Technology division, you will gain direct insight into the systems that move money, safeguard client data, and keep global markets running, and you will help ensure those systems hold up against evolving threats. It is part investigative work, part technology deep dive, and a genuine head start on a career in cybersecurity, IT audit, risk, or technology consulting. We value our internship programs as they help us identify our future hires and leaders.

What You’ll Experience in BBH’s Internship Program:

Overview: A unique 10-week internship program designed to immerse you in BBH’s culture and our various lines of business

Hands-On Learning: Contribute to meaningful Internal Audit projects that build practical experience in risk assessment, internal controls evaluation, audit testing, documentation, and communicating findings

Mentorship: Learn from industry experts who will guide you through the intricacies of the financial services landscape

Professional Development: Strengthen your communication and leadership skills through workshops, presentations, networking opportunities, case studies, and our speaker series throughout the program

Collaborative and Inclusive Environment: Join a dynamic workplace that encourages diverse perspectives and fosters teamwork

On-Site Presence: Immerse yourself in our company culture and accelerate your professional development with your daily in-office presence

Community Impact: Opportunities to give back through our BBHcares philanthropy program, supporting the communities we serve

The Team You’ll Join:

BBH’s Internal Audit IT team is the independent group that supports and challenges the firm’s Technology division. We evaluate technology infrastructure, cybersecurity protocols, cloud platforms, and system controls to make sure the risks that matter most to the firm and our clients are being managed – and we report what we find directly to senior leadership and the Board.

As an Internal Audit IT Intern, you will sit with the team through audit planning and fieldwork – examining access management, data integrity, network security, and application controls. You will help test automated processes, review system configurations, and conduct risk assessments under the guidance of IT Audit leadership, then help translate what you find into recommendations technologists actually act on. If you like solving puzzles, asking the questions no one else thought to ask, and seeing how technology powers global finance, we are ready for you.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

Technical Range: A working foundation across databases, operating systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, Mainframe), applications, cloud, and cybersecurity – and the ability to spot the risks and controls that live in each

Internal Controls Evaluation: How to test control frameworks, find the gaps, and recommend fixes that stick

Audit Methodology: an introduction to the full audit lifecycle, from planning and execution through to reporting

Industry Credibility: Familiarity with NYDFS, NIST, COSO, and other standards that show up in every IT audit, cybersecurity, and risk job description – and a head start toward certifications like the CISA

A Seat at the Table: Opportunities to meet senior leaders, hear how they think about risk in their departments, and learn how to explain technical findings to a non-technical audience

A Capstone with Visibility: Partner with interns across the firm on a project tackling a real business challenge, and present it to senior leadership
