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.

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.

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.

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.

Prior internship or project experience in finance, consulting, audit, or compliance preferred.
Minimum GPA of 3.0 or equivalent.
