We are seeking Summer 2026 Underwriting Interns in Chicago, IL

The Internship Program is a 10-week development initiative designed to provide professional growth with potential long-term opportunity for successful individuals interested in the Insurance/Reinsurance industry.

Underwriting Interns work alongside the most experienced underwriters in the industry to gain in-depth knowledge of our business units and underwriting philosophy through on-the-job learning, workplace mentoring.

What can I expect as an Intern?

On-the-job Learning

Insurance requires a high degree of experience and expertise – something you can't learn in the classroom. Sompo interns are immersed in the day-to-day activities of their team, assisting Underwriters in exposure analysis and operational analysis of insureds, compiling a competitor analysis from a publicly available database, working with Underwriting Assistants in developing renewal lists, contacting brokers for submissions, and accompany underwriters during internal meetings and occasional external marketing calls.

Activities, Learning and Development

Throughout the program, Interns will have the opportunity to hear from executive leaders, participate in structured, engaging leadership learnings, participate in networking events and activities with peers, members of our Executive team and outside brokerage firms, and be part of a project to present to their manager and mentor.

What will I need to be as an Intern?

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or graduate degree program for the full duration of the internship with a minimum GPA of 3.0

• Rising Junior or Senior for Summer 2026

• Genuine interest in developing a career in the insurance industry

• Willingness to learn and contribute to team projects

• Ability to articulate ideas clearly through written and verbal communication

• Solution-oriented mindset and data analytical skills

• Detail-oriented, organized, and tech-savvy (Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

• Local to the desired office location or able to arrange housing and transportation in the area to support an in-office working arrangement during the internship

• Eligible candidates must be at least 18 years old and authorized to work in the United States without restriction

Salary Range: $20 hr. Actual compensation for this role will depend on several factors including the cost of living associated with your work location, your qualifications, skills, competencies, and relevant experience.
