PartnerRe is a leading global reinsurer that was established in 1993, in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, to bring much-needed capacity to a market in crisis, helping insurers to provide continuity to their clients. Though we have evolved continuously throughout the years, our purpose remains the same: to help insurance companies succeed.  

We are a global and culturally diverse team of more than 1,200 talented professionals spread out across 16 office locations worldwide. Our size ensures that we are big enough to matter and be relevant to our clients and brokers, but small enough that you will quickly get to know all of the colleagues that you will be collaborating with. More importantly, PartnerRe is a company where you can make a real impact and get a true sense of the contribution you make to the company′s success and results.  

Our culture is based on trust, responsibility, openness, and initiative, and we pride ourselves on delivering the best possible reinsurance solutions for our clients.  We are always looking for bright, proactive people with expert knowledge skills, and integrity to join our international teams.    

Our mission is to provide an Underwriting Reinsurance Intern with a professional work experience and offer learning opportunities focused on the insurance and reinsurance industry through exposure to the various integral functions within our reinsurance organization, with particular emphasis on Underwriting and Underwriting Operations, to help attract and prepare interns for a future career in this industry.
