Oaktree Capital Management 2027 Summer Internship Program: Eligibility & How to Apply

Who can apply?

• The reviewed September Enterprise Solutions posting uses team-specific graduation rules: Sustainability seeks a student expecting to graduate in 2029, while Technology seeks students expecting to graduate in 2028.
• Oaktree permits no more than three total applications in each recruitment wave. Applicants should choose teams deliberately rather than treating the limit as three versions of the same application.
• The program runs for ten weeks from mid-June to mid-August. The posting says the opportunities are based in Los Angeles except where another opening states otherwise.

Dates, pay & program timing

Oaktree announced two 2027 recruitment waves: September–October and December–January. The reviewed September posting listed a September 21, 2026 closing date, which has passed, and stated $36 per hour. The second wave was announced but its teams and exact dates were not yet published on this posting, so students should monitor the official careers system rather than reuse the first-wave deadline.

These details reflect the sources at the review date. An overview is not a live job offer. Check the official page for today's application status and the selected opening's written terms.

How to apply to Oaktree Capital Management

1. Check the live Oaktree careers system for the December–January wave and use that opening's graduation-year rule instead of assuming the September teams will repeat.
2. Choose no more than three genuinely relevant roles in the wave, then tailor your resume to the work of each selected team and its stated graduation requirement.
3. Apply through the official Workday posting before its own cutoff and save the confirmation; the September 21 date applies only to the reviewed first-wave listing.
4. Prepare one example that shows curiosity, careful execution and collaboration, the qualities Oaktree emphasizes in its internship material.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

For Sustainability, practice connecting one environmental, regulatory or governance factor to a specific investment outcome and state why materiality differs by asset class. For Technology, explain a data, automation or reliability project and the decision or process it improved. Choose the exercise that matches the actual team you apply to.

Oaktree's internship material emphasizes thoughtful questions, meeting deadlines and learning across groups. Prepare a concrete example where you entered an unfamiliar subject, documented what you did not know, sought targeted help and delivered accurate work on time.
