We will have two waves of recruitment: the first wave will run from September to October, and the second wave will take place from December to January. During these periods, we will be actively seeking enthusiastic and talented interns to join various departments within our organization. Below are groups currently accepting applications, along with group specific details. Oaktree’s summer internships run 10 weeks starting mid-June and ending mid-August. All opportunities will be based in Los Angeles, except where noted. Applications will be open until September 21, 2026 , and candidates can submit a maximum of 3 total applications per application wave . If you have any questions or need further information, please reach out to the Early Talent Team . September Openings Global Opportunities Global Opportunities is an all-weather strategy launched in 1988 and serves as the flagship strategy of Oaktree Capital Management, which is headquartered in Los Angeles and manages $205 billion in assets under management (AUM). As of January 2025, the Global Opportunities strategy itself oversees $47 billion in AUM. Originally known as Distressed Opportunities, the strategy has deep roots in distressed debt, reorganizations, and restructurings. Over the past 30 years, it has evolved into a broad and flexible investment platform with a mandate to invest across the capital structure in both public and private markets, including debt, equities, and special situations. Global Opportunities is seeking summer interns in Los Angeles with a 202 9 expected graduation . Global Private Debt Global Private Debt focuses on U.S. and non-U.S. investment opportunities within the traded and non-traded markets. The tradeable credit opportunity set arises from pricing inefficiencies that occur in the primary and secondary markets whereas non-traded (direct) investments stem from the financing needs of healthy companies that may have limited access to traditional lenders or public markets. The team has a broad investment mandate, although typical investments tend to be in the form of high yield bonds and senior loans. The strategy targets discounted, high-quality investments across sponsored, non-sponsored, opportunistic and public opportunities. With a focus on total return, the strategy benefits from a strong focus on bottom-up fundamental credit analysis and from a team experienced in stressed credit investing over multiple market cycles. Global Private Debt is seeking summer interns in Los Angeles and/or New York with a 202 8 or 202 9 expected graduation. Real Estate Equity The Real Estate group pursues a wide range of global investment opportunities, including direct property investments; investments in real estate-related corporations; CMBS and related securities; residential land, assets and loan pools; small-balance commercial loan pools; and non-U.S. investments. The group will also occasionally pursue development opportunities with aligned, high-quality partners. Our opportunistic approach and our team’s extensive expertise at the intersection of real estate and distressed debt allows us to capitalize on continued flow of over-leveraged and distressed real estate in need of rescue capital or asset repositioning. Real Estate Equities is seeking a summer intern in Los Angeles with a 202 9 expected graduation . Sourcing & Origination I nterns will work with the Sourcing & Origination team and support the Strategic Credit strategy while being part of our international internship program.
