About The Position

WTW’s 8-week Summer Internship Program is designed primarily for university students about one year from completing a bachelor’s degree and provides hands-on experience in the insurance industry. Interns work with colleagues and senior leadership, gain exposure to client-facing work and accounts ranging from Fortune 500 companies to local businesses, and complete meaningful assignments and projects in a specialized business area. Program activities include structured orientation and training, goal setting, mentorship, inclusion and diversity initiatives, group presentations, networking, case studies, speaker series, and a formal performance review. The program is intended to help build a technical foundation and serves as a primary pipeline into WTW’s full-time Graduate Development Program. The Financial Solutions Trade Credit Placement team helps clients manage risk and total cost of risk. Brokers assess, model, and structure client risks, then present those risks to insurance markets and use market relationships and negotiation skills to secure quotations. Typical work includes preparing and distributing submissions, liaising with markets, analyzing exposures, working with risk models, and negotiating quotations. This is a hybrid role based in New York. Most interns are expected to work in the office three times per week, with a mixture of remote and in-office work and flexible schedules. Employment-based non-immigrant visa sponsorship or assistance is not offered; candidates must be authorized to work in the United States indefinitely without sponsorship.
