Role Overview

The Group Benefit Solutions (GBS) Correspondence team plays a critical role in helping employees, employers, clients, and account teams understand important claim and leave information. As GBS continues to modernize its claims correspondence letter suite, this role will support efforts to simplify communications, improve readability, and create greater consistency across products and processes.

This internship provides hands-on experience supporting business communications, correspondence modernization, client storytelling, process documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
