Preparing for a job at AIG
Preparing for a role at AIG means showing you can weigh risk carefully for businesses and individuals across many countries, and explain your judgement in plain terms.
What AIG is known for
A global insurer concentrated on property and casualty cover for commercial clients and individuals.
One of the largest commercial property and casualty insurers anywhere, with a long international footprint.
A wide network of offices, from New York and London to Singapore, Luxembourg and Sydney.
What tends to matter at AIG
The capabilities that shape most roles here, and how to get ready for each.
Disciplined risk judgement
Commercial insurance rests on pricing and accepting risk sensibly, so sound reasoning carries real weight.
How to prepare: Bring an example where you assessed exposure with incomplete information and explain how you reached and defended your call.
Client and broker relationships
Much commercial cover is arranged through brokers and long client relationships, where trust builds over years.
How to prepare: Prepare a story about handling a demanding client or partner, including a moment when you had to say no and keep the relationship.
Cross-border collaboration
Teams in Europe, Asia and the Americas often work on the same accounts and programmes.
How to prepare: Show how you have coordinated across time zones and cultures, and how you kept everyone aligned on decisions.
Data in underwriting and claims
Analytics increasingly shapes how risks are selected and how claims are handled.
How to prepare: Refresh how data supports pricing or loss analysis in your area, and practise explaining a finding to a non-specialist.
The MinTraq readiness lens for AIG
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at AIG.
Solid grounding in property and casualty basics, such as exposure, coverage terms and loss trends, gives most roles their footing.
Candidates benefit from rehearsing calls where growth and prudence conflict, for instance a valued client asking for broader terms.
For managers, the emphasis tends to fall on building accountable teams that hold underwriting standards across regions.
AI readiness matters most where modelling, claims triage and operations are being reshaped by automation and better data.
Same company, different preparation
Preparing for AIG is not one thing. What you need to show depends on the role you want.
