Business Jobs & Internships in Columbus 2026 — Finance, Retail & Operations

Columbus is Ohio's largest city and one of the Midwest's most dynamically growing business markets, home to JPMorgan's largest back-office operations center in the United States alongside major retail corporations including L Brands (Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works), Big Lots, and the headquarters of Cardinal Health — one of the largest companies in the United States by revenue. The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business graduates thousands of business students annually, creating strong local talent pipelines that Columbus employers recruit from actively, and the university's proximity to the city center creates an unusually integrated town-gown business community. Columbus's technology sector is growing rapidly through investments from Intel (which is building a massive semiconductor manufacturing campus nearby) and a growing fintech ecosystem centered on the Short North and downtown business districts.
