The Futures Program is a full-time, two-year rotational development program designed for high-potential individuals beginning their professional careers. The program offers exposure to various areas of our business, including Investment Management and Global Advisory Services (sales, product, and marketing), among others. We prioritize associate development through meaningful work, networking opportunities, and mentorship.   

An ideal Futures Associate is intellectually curious, thrives in research and analysis, and is committed to continuous learning. They are eager to make a positive impact on our business. Our Futures Associates come from a wide range of backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives that enable them to propose innovative solutions to complex challenges.  

How it Works: The Program consists of four, six-month rotations within various departments, each designed to promote career development and enhance professional skills through meaningful contributions to departmental goals. The rotational structure provides a variety of comprehensive experiences, encouraging Associates to develop a wide range of skills and explore various potential career paths within their strategic focus area. Associates engage in project-related and analytical assignments while supporting departmental initiatives. Development is achieved through on-the-job experience, training, and extensive networking opportunities.  Each Futures Associate is paired with a Franklin Templeton leader who provides mentorship, career guidance, and support in building connections across the organization. 

Futures Associates will join our San Mateo, CA, and New York, NY offices in 2026.
