The U.S. COO Summer Internship Program is a 10-week experience designed for rising college seniors interested in strategy, analytics, transformation, business operations, governance, and enterprise execution. Interns will be aligned to a participating area within the U.S. Chief Operating Officer organization and contribute to meaningful business priorities while building foundational knowledge of BMO and the financial services industry.

Throughout the summer, interns will participate in a shared U.S. Banking onboarding experience, complete hands-on work within an assigned business area, connect with leaders and peers, and translate their work into a final stakeholder-ready presentation or recommendation. The current program design includes a shared foundation, functional experience, professional development, networking, and a capstone or final presentation.
