About the Role

The Treasury organization at The Walt Disney Company manages the Company’s liquidity, mitigates financial risk, and ensures Disney has the flexibility to invest, innovate, and grow. Treasury oversees relationships with financial institutions and rating agencies, leads global cash management activity, manages foreign exchange and interest rate risk, drives financing and capital raising initiatives, and directs the investment of retirement assets that support employees across the Company.

 

The Financial Markets Analyst is an entry-level position within Treasury’s Financial Markets group, which has three primary functions: Capital Markets, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, and Pension & Investments. Rather than specializing in one area, you will support work across all three, building financial models, producing the reporting and market analysis that informs decision-making, and contributing to the transactions and decisions that shape how Disney funds itself, protects its earnings from market volatility, and invests the assets that support its employees.

 

Why This Role is Unique:

Many finance students begin their careers advising companies from the outside. This role puts you inside one. You will work on a debt portfolio of approximately $45 billion, a foreign exchange derivatives portfolio of more than $20 billion notional, and roughly $17 billion in pension assets, and you will do it in an organization small enough that your analysis reaches the Treasurer and the Chief Financial Officer.

 

This is a full-time, on-site role based in Burbank, CA that will begin in Summer 2027.

This job posting will remain open until Tuesday, October 28, 2026.
