Why This Role Matters

This internship offers hands‑on experience with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks, risk identification and assessment processes, and cross‑functional collaboration in a dynamic corporate environment. The ERM Intern will support the risk management team in maintaining and enhancing the organization’s risk capabilities — gaining real‑world experience directly applicable to careers in risk management, consulting, finance, or corporate strategy. This is an excellent opportunity for motivated students who are eager to understand how leading organizations proactively identify and manage risk. This is a hybrid internship based out of our Zionsville headquarters, with an expected start date during the first week of September and a commitment of approximately 15–20 hours per week.

How You’ll Contribute

• Support the facilitation of risk assessments, metrics, and data collection with stakeholders.
• Support the Corporate Insurance Risk Management program.
• Help maintain and update the risk register, including risk ratings, owners, and mitigation plans.
• Conduct research on emerging risks (e.g., cybersecurity, geopolitical, and regulatory).
• Assist in developing risk dashboards, heat maps, and reporting materials for senior management.
• Support the tracking and monitoring of key risk indicators (KRIs) and risk mitigation action items.
• Contribute to the development and refinement of ERM policies, procedures, and frameworks.
• Participate in cross‑functional meetings to understand how risk is managed across departments (i.e., IT, Finance, Operations, Legal).
• Assist with scenario analysis, stress testing, or business continuity planning exercises.

What We’re Looking For

• Currently enrolled as a junior or senior with strong preference given to students pursuing a bachelor's degree in Risk Management & Insurance. Sophomores studying Risk Management & Insurance with advanced coursework and strong GPAs will be considered. Students from Finance, Business Administration, Economics, Accounting, Data Analytics, or a related field may be considered.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word).
• Ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and work independently.
• High attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Genuine interest in enterprise risk management, corporate governance, or compliance.
• Coursework in risk management, finance, statistics, data analytics, or internal audit.
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) or GRC platforms.
• Prior internship or project experience in finance, consulting, audit, or compliance preferred.
• Minimum GPA of 3.0 or equivalent.
