Marsh Risk Summer Intern 2027 - Brokerage

Marsh's Early Career Program offers a Summer Internship within the Risk business. The roles are based in Chicago, Dallas, and Houston, with an anticipated start in June 2027. These are hybrid positions that require working in the office at least three days a week.

As a Summer Intern, you will work directly with senior advisors and brokers over a 10-week experience. You will help clients identify risks to their people, property, or financial and strategic goals, gaining hands-on exposure to risk management and insurance broking. Program benefits include a cohort community, a dedicated program team, learning and development opportunities, a mentorship program, exposure to senior leaders, and networking. The internship ends with a summer capstone presentation to your team and senior leadership.

The Brokerage Practice helps clients manage and reduce risks in real-world scenarios, such as medical pandemics, music festival liabilities, and financial scandals. You will work with clients to assess risks, build relationships with insurance companies, and secure competitive insurance quotes using your negotiation skills. Exceptional interns may be offered a full-time position at Marsh after the internship.
