Our 2027 Summer Internship Program is a paid 10-week learning experience where you will be immersed in the daily environment of a thriving global financial services company. You will gain invaluable industry and organizational knowledge through daily business interactions and job assignments, in addition to engaging in projects that directly affect our business, interacting with senior leaders, and networking with employees and interns across our offices. This 10-week internship provides you with realistic experiences and information of what it is like to work at Guardian. The Team: This internship sits within the Business Transformation organization for FPRS (Financial Protection and Retirement Solutions), the team accountable for how Guardian's Life, Disability, and Annuity businesses set strategy into motion. We own enterprise portfolio planning and prioritization, lead multi-year value stream transformation across Purchase, Underwriting, and Service, and drive the AI enablement agenda that is reshaping how our colleagues work. You will be placed against one of two assignments based on business priority at the time of hire and your own interests: Assignment A: Portfolio Planning & Strategic Investment Support the 2028 annual planning cycle, the process by which FPRS decides where to invest hundreds of millions of dollars across technology, operations, and growth initiatives. You will help build and pressure-test business cases, size initiatives, model trade-offs, and prepare the materials that senior leaders use to make funding decisions. You will do this work with AI in the loop, using generative AI assistants and AI-enabled analytics tools (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Excel Copilot, Power BI, Tableau) to accelerate modeling, scenario analysis, and research synthesis while applying your own judgment to the recommendation. Assignment B: AI Enablement & Adoption Support Guardian’s AI enablement agenda across FPRS as both a practitioner and a change agent. You will apply structured use-case prioritization frameworks to identify high-value AI opportunities, quantify productivity and value capture, define and track adoption metrics, design prompts and AI-assisted workflows, and build the enablement assets and training that help thousands of colleagues adopt AI tools in their daily work. You will also contribute to how we govern responsible AI use in a regulated financial services environment.
