AWM Global Advisors is a wealth advisory firm serving ultra-high-net-worth families and institutions across a global client base, with offices in San Diego and the Cayman Islands (via our affiliation with Alhambra Bank and Trust).

We're recruiting interns across two tracks.

1. Strategic Communications, Content & Brand Stewardship (Primary Focus)

If you live at the intersection of storytelling, design, and strategy — read on.

This track is built for creative thinkers and sharp communicators who can turn financial complexity into narrative people actually want to read. You'll craft client communications, thought leadership pieces, white papers, and digital content. You'll help shape brand strategy, editorial direction, social presence, and visual identity. You'll sit alongside senior advisors and influence how the firm shows up to sophisticated audiences worldwide.

Backgrounds we'd love to see:

•  Marketing & Brand Strategy

•  Content Creation & Digital Media

•  Journalism & Editorial

•  Public Relations & Corporate Communications

•  Creative Writing & English

•  Graphic Design, Visual Communications & Multimedia

•  Media Studies & Film

•  Advertising & Copywriting

A strong portfolio — published work, marketing collateral, video, social content, or design samples — matters more than the specific degree on your transcript. We're looking for intellectual curiosity, narrative instinct, and the polish to engage discerning audiences with confidence.

2. Financial Analytics & Quantitative Research

For candidates with quantitative aptitude and a love for solving real problems with data.

You'll execute quantitative analysis supporting investment strategy and portfolio construction, build analytical models and visualization tools, and explore applications in AI, blockchain, and digital assets.

Backgrounds welcomed: Data Science, Finance, Quantitative Finance, Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Business Analytics, or Financial Engineering. Proficiency in Python, SQL, R, and Tableau or Power BI required.

What We're Looking For

•  Bachelor's or Master's candidates with strong academic records

•  Sharp written and verbal communication

•  Discretion, professional maturity, and sound judgment

•  Curiosity about global markets and cross-cultural business

•  Mandarin or Spanish a plus, not required

What You'll Gain

Real responsibility from day one. Direct collaboration with senior practitioners in finance, law, tax, and communications. Exposure to multi-jurisdictional wealth strategy and geopolitical risk. Hands-on experience with emerging fintech — AI, blockchain, digital assets. A network of advisors and institutional partners. And for strong performers, priority consideration for full-time roles.
