Technology Associate, Internship - Summer 2027

Lord Abbett is a global, active asset manager, founded in 1929. As an independent, private partnership, we think in decades, not quarters. That long-term perspective shapes how we invest, how we build our business, and how we develop our people.

Today, we serve clients around the world with investment capabilities across public and private markets. We build with intention, focusing our expertise where we believe active management can make a difference. Our independence gives us the freedom to think differently, invest for the long term, and act decisively when opportunities emerge.

The same principles shape how we work. We set high standards, value independent thinking, and expect people to take real ownership of their work. We invest in people who are curious, collaborative, and motivated to make an impact for our clients and the firm.

Principles based, performance oriented.

We invest in our people the same way we invest in our strategies: deeply, deliberately, and for the long term. As a private partnership, we answer to our clients and to each other. That creates an environment where responsibility is clear, good ideas are taken seriously, and people have the opportunity to shape what gets built and how.

You’ll work alongside colleagues who expect a lot of themselves and each other, with access to leaders who are invested in your development. You’ll have the opportunity to deepen your expertise, broaden your experience, and build a career shaped by your strengths and ambitions.

Our principles-based, performance-oriented culture is grounded in four values: Excellence, Responsibility, Transparency, and Collaboration. They guide how we make decisions, work together, and serve our clients.
