Description
Employment-based non-immigrant visa sponsorship and/or assistance is not offered for this specific job opportunity now or in the future.
This position is hybrid in Chicago or New York.
The Business:
Graduate Program Overview
The CRB Graduate Development Program (GDP) is a non-rotational two-year program that provides the opportunity to develop a broad knowledge base, varied skills, and diverse network. This program is designed to set you up with a holistic view of CRB with hands-on experience, insight, and opportunities to make an impact and shape your own career.
GDP participants will be immersed in a 1-week in-person orientation followed by a robust onboarding training learning about various functions within CRB. Our program is designed to provide graduates with a well-rounded understanding of the industry while having the opportunity to deep dive within their respective business area.
Affinity Overview
WTW Affinity is a global line of business which provides end-to-end Affinity insurance solutions for organizations whose core business is not insurance. Affinity is a B2B2C/B2B2B/B2C line of business, which means the insureds will be our clients’ end-customers. Our Affinity strategy places a focus on prospects that are global in nature, have multi-country clients, and have a mass volume customer base. The current target industry segments are car dealers and manufacturers, energy utilities, financial services, and mobile network operators. A role in affinity is suited to individuals who have an interest in building sales and marketing platforms for distribution of products and services in addition to the broking/placement of the insurance. As a b2b2b/b2b2c business, the affinity model is highly process-driven and is much more centered around business building with the client on an ongoing basis as opposed to purely risk transfer or a transaction. Affinity cuts across many industries as a process discipline and therefore requires someone with creativity and the ability to structure solutions in the context of ambiguity.
