Make your mark in Underwriting
AIG’s underwriting teams help businesses navigate complex and evolving risks by delivering innovative insurance and risk management solutions across a broad range of industries and exposures. Our underwriters work closely with brokers, clients, and internal partners to evaluate risk, analyze financial and exposure information, and develop tailored solutions that meet clients’ unique needs.
As an Underwriter, you will build expertise in risk assessment, financial analysis, and relationship management while gaining exposure to the commercial insurance industry. You will collaborate with experienced underwriting professionals and cross-functional partners, including claims, risk engineering, actuarial, and analytics teams, to make informed, data-driven decisions and help solve complex business challenges.
Opportunities are available across several underwriting businesses, including Financial Lines, Retail Property, Retail Casualty, Lexington Property, Lexington Casualty, Alternative Channels, Distribution and Captive Solutions. Each area provides the opportunity to develop specialized underwriting knowledge while building a strong foundation for a career in commercial insurance.
How you will make an impact
AIG’s Summer Interns are immersed in the day-to-day operations of a fast-moving, global insurance company. During the 9-week program, you will gain valuable, hands-on experience and insurance industry knowledge, working with leaders on dynamic projects, with plenty of opportunity for challenges, learning and achievement.

In addition to meaningful on-the-job experiences, interns will join instructor-led masterclasses, hear directly from senior leaders, and build meaningful connections through mentoring circles, networking events and volunteering.
