Crystal Kwan

Intern, Summer 2021, Group Digital & Data

The internship gave me indelible and cherished learnings. I’m grateful to have been a part of FWD’s digital transformation; From AI Claims to e-Commerce, I had the privilege to partake in projects that drive innovation from the ground up and deliver digital solutions to all markets. FWD proves to be an innovative insurer with the vision of changing the way people feel about insurance and becoming a digital leader in the industry and beyond.

What we're looking for

The following are just some of the qualities that define our people. The question is: do any of them sound like you?

You have some of your best ideas in uncertain or ambiguous situations
You thrive in a feedback environment (it’s how we all grow, and learn)
You have a passion for digital that extends beyond the classroom
You’re an early adopter, with a constant eye on new trends as they’re happening
You’re a natural collaborator. You’re the first to support your team – and you’re not afraid to ask for help, or a second pair of eyes

A simple application process

Submit your CV alongside a note that tells us in no more than 250 words: 1) how you consider yourself to be digitally savvy 2) something innovative you have done, and 3) why you’d like to join FWD.
If you’re shortlisted, you’ll receive a phone call from a member of our team, who will get to know you better over an informal chat.
Provided both parties are still interested, you’ll then be invited to a face to face or virtual interview with one of our team managers, designed to assess your technical and behavioural skills, as well as give you the opportunity to ask questions of your own.
Successful candidates will then be offered a place on the FWD summer internship programme.
