Job Description

A journey through the Nationwide experience…

Great culture, Great opportunity, Great impact, Great company

When you start your internship, you'll be welcomed by a culture of dedicated people who are eager to see you succeed. You'll attend meetings and contribute to projects that make a difference for our company. You'll also focus on your own professional development by attending learning sessions led by key business leaders, and by networking with your fellow interns, team members and intern alumni. Giving back to the communities where we live and work is an important part of who we are here at Nationwide. In 1926, Nationwide began as a small, mutual insurer helping farmers get the best value they could for auto insurance. Today, we've expanded to become one of America's most diversified financial services organizations. Even through our tremendous growth, we haven't strayed from our roots. We're still committed to keeping our promises to our members, partners and associates - protecting people, businesses and futures with extraordinary care.

Our internship opportunities include a wide variety of roles including Sales, Analytics, Project Management, and Operations.

During our 12-week program (May - August, 40 hours/week) you'll have an opportunity to mentor, job shadow and network with talented professionals and senior-level executives throughout Nationwide Financial. You'll also lead a project within a specified business line, providing impactful research and recommendations to senior leaders. The work you perform will be meaningful and integral to Nationwide's operations and business objectives.

This internship will be based in our Columbus, Ohio office throughout the 12-week experience. Company paid travel and housing is available to those not in Columbus.
