Employee Benefits Intern - Summer 2027

What You’ll Do:

Interns at IMA are a big deal! We understand how significant your decision on where to spend an internship is and what a positive experience can do to catapult your career. The best experiences provide true immersion in a company’s culture, access to and networking with senior leaders and industry experts, opportunities to apply what you learn through real work that drives real results, and a fun and engaging cohort to share the experience with!

With this in mind, we’ve crafted our program to allow you to engage directly in our values driven culture through company, department, and cohort events, all while being challenged with a blend of learning programs, informative networking sessions with IMA associates, and opportunities to engage in department specific work projects that have real world impact for our clients, our business, and our associates.

As an intern, your time will be divided between a core program shared with the entire cohort and specialized work, projects, and programming tailored to the department you join.

The IMA New York Employee Benefits team is excited to offer an incredible opportunity for an intern to join our 2027 Summer Internship Program! Based in our Harrison office, this role provides hands-on experience, valuable professional development, and the opportunity to gain exposure to the employee benefits industry.

- Contribute to the team’s tight-knit, energetic culture by participating in collaborative projects, team activities, and day-to-day workflow support.

We’re proud of the success many of our former interns have had when they’ve pursued careers as IMA associates’ post-graduation and see our internship program as a key talent pipeline. Because of this, preference is given to students closer to graduation, who demonstrate a curiosity about future employment within our industry.
