Mercury Ignite.

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 industry and human capital field.

We are one team.

The Mercury Human Capital team plays a central role in ensuring the workforce is skilled, engaged, productive, and aligned with the organization's strategic goals.

We are seeking curious, passionate, and hard-working students working towards Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human Resources/Human Resources Management, Business Administration, Psychology or a related field with concentration in business analytics, preferred, to participate in our fully remote summer internship program.

But it won’t be all work! Mercury executives will host virtual lunch-and-learns with a small group of interns to discuss career aspirations, interns will get to meet Mercury people leaders and team members throughout the organization, and there will be a multitude of virtual social events.

An in-person interview may be required during the hiring process
