MBAs currently face a unique challenge, says Liberty Mutual’s director of recruiting for professional programs, Ann Nowak. Many are finding fewer opportunities in their anticipated career paths—investment banking or consulting—meaning they need to expand their horizons. One sector where MBA skill sets are in demand is the insurance industry, and Nowak says Liberty Mutual continues to recruit fresh-faced MBAs for their Corporate Development Program. Just be sure you’re prepared to personally wow the CEO.
What roles will MBAs find in insurance? All of the same core business functions that you’d find in any business. For instance, if you’re into investment banking, we have a very strong investment group. If you’re into risk management, we do that too. You’ll be able to use the same analytic skills you learn as an MBA, just in a role specific to insurance.
What opportunities does Liberty Mutual offer? One is the Corporate Development Program (CDP), which moves MBAs into management positions within our business. Those can include roles in operations, marketing, finance—anywhere they “click” while they’re here. We also have direct-hire positions in finance, marketing, IT product management, and operations. We make every effort to ensure we’re efficient and able to implement organizational changes, and MBA knowledge helps us with that.
