The Company

As a member of Munich Re's US operations, we offer the financial strength and stability that comes with being part of the world's preeminent insurance and reinsurance brand. Our risk experts work together to assemble the right mix of products and services to help our clients stay competitive – from traditional reinsurance coverages, to niche and specialty reinsurance and insurance products.

The Opportunity

Munich Re’s Summer Leadership Development Program (SLDP) is an immersive 12-week internship designed to expose rising seniors to our industry-leading practices, as well as give them a head start in applying for our fulltime Graduate Trainee Program. SLDP internship applicants should be interested in pursuing either the Underwriting or Claims functions upon graduation, and SLDP internship work will correspond with those interests. SLDP interns are entrusted to work on real-time business activities and projects, and are treated as valued members of the Munich Re team. The internship provides foundational experiences in key insurance and/or reinsurance units (e.g. underwriting, risk management, claims, data, marketing, etc.) to build technical skills through engaging and meaningful project work. Interns also strengthen their professional and personal skills via meetings with executive leaders, networking with colleagues, involvement in volunteer opportunities, and conversations with their paired mentors.

SLDP interns will work from 1 of 5 possible locations: Princeton, NJ; New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; or Chicago, IL or Atlanta, GA. While we consider interns’ location preferences, applicants should be open to all five cities as placement will ultimately depend on business need. The base range for this internship in NYC  will be $24- $26 per hour. The hourly estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for candidates hired in this position in NYC. 

As an additional program benefit, all SLDP interns are also automatic advance applicants to the fulltime Munich Re International Graduate Trainee Program. This robust 2-year training program prepares new college graduates for roles in our re/insurance business via hands-on rotation work, classroom training, and industry exams.
