Mercury Ignite. Your launchpad to a brighter career. Our summer internship program is a 12-week paid internship designed to allow students to gain practical work experience in the Insurance field.

In this paid, 12-week internship, you’ll have the ability to work on digital design for website updates, campaign landing pages, marketing emails, web graphics, and iconography. You’ll receive mentorship from the Director of Brand Design and collaborate with front-end developers to implement designs and prototypes across digital properties, including our corporate website. This opportunity allows you to build your portfolio with real projects and to conclude with a capstone presentation that showcases your impact. The program will be highly collaborative and immersive, with interns working on real business problems that can span multiple business units within the complex insurance landscape.
