THE ROLE

In Insurance Consulting we advise and provide solutions to insurance companies and other insurance entities such as brokers and MGAs on the quantification and management of risk, and on wider operational capabilities, to provide competitive advantage in a rapidly changing world. Our client base includes more than three-quarters of the world’s leading insurers across both life and property/casualty insurance.

The role

A data science role in Insurance Consulting is stimulating, challenging, exciting and extremely rewarding, and provides you with an opportunity to showcase where your expertise can add real value to our business and to our clients’ businesses

We require colleagues who are technically and mathematically minded, with the ability to solve complex and challenging commercial problems using innovative and proportionate approaches.

As consultants, it is necessary to build a strong technical skillset but also the ability to communicate complex concepts to audiences from a variety of backgrounds. We deal with actuaries, accountants, underwriters, technologists, data scientists, insurance entrepreneurs, senior executives and other Board members. Each audience has different needs and knowledge, and we need to tailor our communications to suit.

We are looking for candidates that have a deep understanding of data science and can apply their knowledge and skillsets to work with clients to support them in their strategy and objectives. Specifically, we are looking for candidates who will challenge the status quo and be prepared to champion new and innovative ways of tackling problems and of driving efficiencies into existing processes.

Graduates will tend to be involved in around 3 client projects at any one time, working on each with the support and guidance of an experienced consultant. These may span a number of data- hungry areas including pricing, claims and operational processes. You will be involved in regular project meetings which will help you to understand the business context and project objectives, and where your contribution fits in, as well as providing a space for you to report your progress.

You may also be involved in communicating with client stakeholders, working directly alongside clients or joining meetings/calls discussing progress or sharing deliverables.

Our graduates experience training during the first few months of joining Willis Towers Watson, which supplements a steep curve of on-the-job learning.

Career path

The learning curve in the first few years is challenging as you grow your understanding of the insurance markets, our clients, products and propositions, whilst at the same time developing broader consulting skills and knowledge of data science techniques.

As you progress, you will get more deeply involved in supporting research and product development. We pride ourselves in remaining ahead of the game in our market – we need to know the next client issue or driver of change before it happens – and so we invest heavily in product and service development.

You may also be responsible for selling projects and managing content and delivery in order to ensure the best solutions for our clients’ problems, on budget, on time and to the highest quality.

THE ROLE

Are you wanting to discover more about careers that will excite, challenge and inspire you? If so, a Zurich summer insurance internship could be just what you’re looking for.

Forget any preconceptions you have about internships and the insurance industry. Our 10-week summer programmes give you a real job with real responsibility and a taste for life working at Zurich.

With plenty of support around you, you’ll experience how your future career might look and help us make a difference to our customers at a time when they need us the most.

Our summer internships are ideal for students in their penultimate year of study. As well as gaining some great experience, successful completion of your internship in 2025 could lead to you being offered a place on one of our graduate programmes starting in 2026.

What can I look forward to?

We provide insurance solutions for an immense range of customers: from members of the public, through small and medium-sized enterprises, to local government organisations and large multinational corporations. Our actuarial teams drive the pricing and reserving for all these markets.

As part of the actuarial team, you will have the opportunity to develop whilst learning from a group of talented actuaries and analysts both within the UK team, and throughout the wider Group. Before you begin, you’ll be put in touch with a buddy who can help support you with any questions you may have about starting.

Within our General Insurance business there are two streams:

• Actuarial reserving team - You’ll be calculating the expected level of future claims. By applying statistical techniques, analysing trends including experience against expectations, communicating business insight, and estimating capital requirements, you’ll become a valuable member of the reserving function
• Actuarial pricing team - You’ll help to set the prices for the insurance policies we sell by calculating which risk characteristics lead to higher or lower expected claims costs. As part of this you’ll find yourself analysing profitability, improving approaches to customer segmentation, and developing market-leading pricing technology

Along with working alongside qualified actuaries, we also provide internal actuarial training to help you understand some of the other work we do, so you can get insight into work that you may not necessarily get a chance to be involved in.

What’s in it for you?

As well as joining a company that is passionate about sustainability and our customers, you can expect:

• £21,840 pro rata salary
• Pro rata holiday for the duration of your internship
