Business Analyst- iMMerse Program 2021
immerse is a two-year experience based out of MassMutual’s Boston office, open to fresh graduates interested in building a strong foundation across three interrelated disciplines with flexibility to pursue a range of compelling future leadership opportunities. The position is an analyst position working in our Corporate Strategy Group and would begin in July 2021.
MassMutual is a leading consumer financial services company with an enduring, dynamic footprint in insurance, asset management, and retirement.

MassMutual has the strength, scale, and distinctive mutual ownership structure to help people secure their future and protect the ones they love.
As further context, the company is currently undergoing a far-reaching and sustained effort to transform itself by, among other steps: building a new 1,000-person office located in Boston’s innovative Seaport District, re-conceptualizing its portfolio of businesses worldwide (for example, two +$1 billion divestitures were announced in the past twelve months), and investing in new digital initiatives (for example, HavenLife.com).
