As part of our Underwriting team, you will directly impact our business on a daily basis, protecting The Cigna Group‘s sound financial position which enables us to meet our financial commitments to our customers. 

We’re a global health service company dedicated to helping people improve their health, well-being and peace of mind. But we don’t just care about your well-being, we care about your career health too. That’s why when you work with us, you can count on a different kind of internship - you’ll make a difference, learn a ton, and share in changing the way people think about healthcare.

The internship is designed to further develop analytical skills and business acumen in a dynamic and flexible work environment. A great way to assess whether the underwriting profession in general and The Cigna Group in particular are a good fit for you is to participate in our underwriting summer internship.
