Travelers Hiring Underwriting Intern

Who Are We?

Taking care of our customers, our communities and each other. That is the Travelers Promise. For over 170 years, we have kept our reputation as one of the best property casualty insurers in the industry. Join us for a culture rooted in innovation that thrives on collaboration.

What Is the Opportunity?

Underwriters evaluate the acceptability of risk and set appropriate pricing for insurance products. The Business Insurance (BI) Underwriting Professional Development Internship Program gives students exposure to this function at Travelers.

The 10-week program runs from early June to mid-August. Interns gain hands-on commercial insurance underwriting experience, on-the-job training, and insight into the property and casualty industry from industry professionals. We are looking for interns who are serious about entering the insurance industry and who are interested in making underwriting their future career. This role is a potential pathway to our full-time Underwriting Professional Development Program (UPDP).

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. Housing assistance is not provided. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. now and in the future. The company does not sponsor H-1B, TN, or STEM OPT/I-983 for this role.
