We are seeking enthusiastic self-starters to be part of the Undergraduate Summer Internship Program in our Chicago office. The program is full-time (40 hours/week) that spans between 10-12 weeks during the summer with a start date of June 2020.

Interns will be given day-to-day responsibilities that help support the team they are working with, helping them to gain an in-depth understanding of what the function does on a daily basis. At the beginning of the summer, interns will be assigned a project that tackles a real problem the team needs solved. Interns will also have the opportunity to complete ad hoc projects to get exposure to other areas.

Summer interns are paired one-on-one with a mentor who is dedicated to their learning and growth. Mentors will be recent hires, who are participating in our Business Associate Program, and many of whom were former interns themselves. Interns will also have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with other colleagues on a daily basis from various teams and departments. Interns will receive consistent formal and informal coaching, as well as feedback from their peers, mentors and managers.

The internship within the Global Relationship Group’s Chicago team affords a unique opportunity for those individuals who are passionate about and are seeking to embark on a career in investment management in a client-facing role. The Global Relationship Group (GRG) is dedicated to providing high quality service and investment solutions to all of Wellington Management’s clients, prospects, and consultants.

· Analyzing potential opportunities for new business within a geographic region or channel
