Summer Internship Roles

Each practice offers a distinct focus area within actuarial and consulting work. Office availability varies by practice, and candidates will be aligned accordingly during the interview process.

Actuarial & Strategy Intern

Practice: Integrated Consulting Group

ICG Overview ICG combines actuarial expertise with strategy consulting to help insurers and asset managers solve complex challenges across finance, operations, product strategy, and M&A. Through its rotational model, ICG works across management consulting, Life, Health, and P&C practices; while interns will typically gain hands-on experience in one or two of these areas during the summer, full-time team members rotate across all four groups. This unique structure provides broader and more diverse exposure than traditional actuarial firms, accelerating development in both consulting and actuarial disciplines.
