The Cigna Group, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Evernorth, is hiring a class of full-time associates for its Analytics Leadership Development Program (ALDP).

The ALDP seeks to develop future analytics leaders for The Cigna Group and Evernorth.

The ALDP framework allows for participation in multiple rotations throughout the duration of the program.
