Gallagher Bassett Services Sales Internship - Melbourne

SIX-WEEKS PAID INTERNSHIP – AUSTRALIA’S NUMBER ONE PROGRAM

Drive business growth!

Put your excellent communication and relationship management skills to use, and support our team to win new business and enhance our relationships with existing clients.

Our internship program will provide you with the opportunity to work with and learn from experienced, dynamic and forward-thinking executives and senior business leaders at Gallagher Bassett. You will have the chance to create and deliver projects for the team that will have a positive impact on the business, and gain an understanding of what it takes to successfully win and manage large accounts in the insurance industry. You will also work closely with our clients – both corporate and commercial-sized businesses.

Aside from the regular coaching and support from your manager and team, and ongoing interaction with the wider intern group, you will be assigned a mentor to ensure you get the best possible experience. And at the end of the six-week program, we also hope you’ve gained valuable insight into the insurance industry and a possible career with GB after graduation.
