Commercial Lines Specialties Intern

What You'll Do

The Specialties team is excited to offer an internship for someone interested in the intersection of business strategy, client experience, operations, data, technology, and insurance.

IMA's Specialties team works across industry and product-focused practices to strengthen how specialized expertise is delivered to clients and brought to market. As a Specialties Intern, you'll have the opportunity to work across several of these teams, interact with specialty leaders and subject matter experts, and contribute to projects designed to improve how we operate and serve our clients.

Daily responsibilities and projects may include:

• Client Experience: Help map the client journey across select industry practices, identifying important client interactions, resources, services, and opportunities to improve the overall experience.
• Process & Best Practices: Work with specialty teams across different markets to understand how they operate today, document processes and workflows, and identify opportunities to share or scale best practices.
• Content & Resources: Help organize, review, and improve specialty content, tools, presentations, and resources so associates can more easily access and use the best materials available across IMA.
• Data & Insights: Support projects involving business and client data, helping teams organize information, identify trends, and turn data into actionable insights.
• AI & Innovation: Participate in smaller projects exploring how AI and other emerging technologies could improve workflows, knowledge sharing, research, client service, or other aspects of the Specialties business.
• Specialty Strategy: Support additional strategic initiatives, research, and projects focused on strengthening and growing IMA's specialty practices.
• Leadership Exposure: Participate in meetings and working sessions with specialty leaders and subject matter experts to gain exposure to different industries, areas of risk, and career paths within insurance.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
