Capital Rotational Associate
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest. Affirm, Inc. proudly includes Affirm, PayBright, and Returnly.
We are looking for early career professionals to join Affirm’s Capital Rotational Program. The program consists of three to four 6-month rotations across various departments within Affirms’ Capital Organization that offer a breadth of experience and exposure in the early years of your career.
The Capital Organization is composed of three main verticals - Treasury, Capital Markets, Quantitative Markets. The primary rotational opportunities are available under the following functions within the Capital Organization:
- Global Treasury Operations

Within this program, you will gain invaluable technical and soft skills, work with business and technical teams across the company, and contribute to the overall success of our organization. We seek forward-thinking, energetic individuals who are willing to learn, able to embrace change, and passionate about making a difference on the team. The goal of this program is to promote career development and growth through exposure to the various Capital functions. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to discuss the selection of a full-time role on a team as early as following the third rotation or can opt to complete a fourth rotation.
While rotations differ from one to another, each rotation allows Associates to build financial competence and leadership skills through a variety of opportunities. As Associates progress into subsequent rotations, they will strengthen their skills and knowledge while continuing to acquire new and more complex proficiencies. Upon completion of the rotations, the analyst will have accelerated their professional growth and developed a very strong network across the team and company!
