Business Undergraduate Summer Internship
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
We are seeking enthusiastic self-starters to be part of the Business Undergraduate Summer Internship Program. This 10-week summer internship is a paid, full-time (40 hours/week) opportunity starting June 1, 2026, in our Boston headquarters. Interns are offered relocation assistance and a housing stipend along with a flexible work environment.
During your Wellington summer internship experience, you will have the opportunity to gain exposure and expand your professional toolkit through three main internship components: (1) internship assignments, (2) firmwide knowledge series and social events, and (3) mentorship and feedback:
1. Internship Assignments
Summer interns will work within a specific team in the client and infrastructure platforms. Interns will be given day-to-day responsibilities that help support the team they are working with, helping them to gain an in-depth understanding of what the function does daily. Some interns will be assigned a summer project that tackles a real problem the team needs solved. Interns will also complete ad-hoc projects with various other teams in their departments and more broadly across the firm. At the end of the summer, interns will present their day-to-day responsibilities, summer projects, and lessons learned to their peers, mentors, and senior leaders. Interns will be assigned to teams that align to business need, the intern’s skills, and long-term career interests.
2. Firmwide Knowledge Series and Social Events
Through a series of interactive speaker sessions, interns will learn from experienced professionals about various departments and functions within the company, helping to expand interns’ knowledge of the firm and potential career paths. Interns will attend multiple social networking events with senior leaders from across the firm. These opportunities, among others, will allow interns to build their network and discover what makes the culture at Wellington so unique.
3. Mentorship and Feedback
Summer interns are paired one-on-one with a mentor who is dedicated to their learning and growth. Mentors will be recent hires, who are participating in one of our early career programs, many of whom were former interns themselves. Interns will interact and collaborate with other colleagues on a daily basis from various teams and departments. Interns will receive consistent formal and informal coaching, as well as feedback from their peers, mentors, and managers.
