Finance Leadership Development Program Intern: a project built for this posting
Interns take on an assignment within The Hartford's finance organization, building skills in areas like FP&A, management and financial reporting, and investment accounting. Alongside the main assignment, they team up with other interns on a capstone research project and get coaching over the 10-week hybrid program, which is expected to start May 26, 2027.

What this role is really testing
The project
Insurance Segment P&L Dashboard with Variance Commentary
A one-page Excel or Google Sheets model that pulls publicly available combined-ratio and premium data from a major insurer's annual report, builds a simple P&L summary, and flags year-over-year variances with a written management commentary block, exactly the kind of financial planning and analysis deliverable Hartford's Finance interns produce. It shows a recruiter the candidate can find real financial data, structure it clearly, and explain what the numbers mean in plain business language.
- Download one or two years of segment financial data from a public insurer's annual report (e.g., net written premiums, losses incurred, underwriting expenses, and net income by segment); enter the figures into a clean spreadsheet with clearly labeled rows and columns, separating actuals by year so comparisons are easy to read.
- Build a concise P&L summary table that calculates loss ratio, expense ratio, combined ratio, and year-over-year dollar and percentage changes for each line; use conditional formatting to highlight variances greater than 5% so the eye is drawn immediately to what moved and why.
- Add a 'Management Commentary' text box beneath the table, three to five bullet points written in the style of a CFO report, that names the two or three biggest drivers of change, quantifies each impact in dollars, and states one forward-looking risk or opportunity; this commentary block is the artifact a recruiter opens and reads in under a minute to assess both analytical and communication skills.

Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. For roles like this one, Provieo builds the project as a live case-study page: slides, tables and findings you fill in. You bring the thinking.
Where did this project come from?
Provieo read the The Hartford posting and generated it on 2026-10-16. If you paste the same posting yourself you may get a different project, so two applicants don't show up with the same one.
Is Provieo connected to The Hartford?
No. This is an independent project idea based on a public posting. It does not guarantee an interview.
