IT Intern (Summer 2023)
Are you an asker of questions, a solver of problems, and a challenger of the status quo? Our mission is to provide a differentiated customer experience and exceed the expectations people have of technology at any company — not just insurers.
We are seeking students to join our team of talented IT professionals, who share never-ending passion and an unwavering focus on our customer experience. Team members comfortable working in an agile, fast-paced, and delivery-focused environment thrive in our environment where we value an entrepreneurial spirit and those who challenge the status-quo.
After orientation and on-boarding, you’ll join one of our business areas, where you will be assigned to meaningful, challenging project work, that has immediate impact to our business. You’ll work on collaborative projects, while also owning individual work that will push you to learn and grow as a professional.
Unum is changing, and we’re excited about what’s next. Join us next summer!
