• Start date: 22nd June 2026

What you’ll be working on

Marketing and Digital at NFU Mutual is about more than creating content — it’s about delivering the right message, to the right audience, at the right time, in a regulated and customer-focused environment.

Our teams play a central role in supporting customers’ financial wellbeing — across both general insurance and our comprehensive Financial Services offering — protecting our reputation, driving digital innovation and helping the business grow sustainably.

During your 8-week internship, you’ll gain exposure across one of three specialist areas:

1. Financial Services Marketing Campaigns
   You’ll support the development and execution of integrated campaigns across pensions, investments and protection, helping to deliver direct marketing activity, seminars, webinars, events, and customer communications. You may review marketing literature, support creative and content development with agency partners, analyse campaign performance data and make recommendations for improvement, all while working within a regulated financial services environment.


2. Responsible Business
   You’ll contribute to how NFU Mutual delivers and communicates its responsible business commitments – from supporting our communities to caring for the environment. This could include supporting the rollout of key messaging, helping evaluate campaign effectiveness, assisting with performance reporting and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and developing case studies from charitable and community initiatives. You’ll gain insight into how responsible business activity enhances trust, strengthens reputation and supports long-term sustainable growth.


3. Digital
   You’ll work within a fast-paced digital team focused on improving customer journeys, digital adoption and online performance. You may support website optimisation and content updates through our Content Management System, contribute to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and accessibility improvements, assist with digital experimentation and Pay Per Click (PPC) activity, and use analytics tools to understand customer behaviour and performance trends. You’ll see first-hand how digital channels drive acquisition, retention and customer experience across nfumutual.co.uk.

You’ll see how we:

• Develop and execute integrated campaigns across multiple channels


• Use data and insight to measure performance and improve outcomes


• Ensure communications are clear, accurate and compliant


• Collaborate with internal teams, agency partners and our wider network


• Align marketing activity to strategic business objectives

Across the 8 weeks, you’ll experience a balance of exposure and ownership. You won’t just observe meetings- you’ll contribute. You might support campaign execution, review marketing materials and recommend improvements, assist with events or seminars, analyse performance data, contribute to digital optimisation projects, or support the development of responsible business messaging.

By the end of the programme, you’ll have delivered a tangible piece of work you can genuinely talk about in future interviews — something you’ve owned, developed and refined through feedback.

How we’ll support you

You’ll be supported closely throughout your internship, both within your Marketing and Digital team and as part of our wider Internship Programme.

In your first week, you’ll spend dedicated time in the office with your Placement Manager getting to know NFU Mutual, how our Marketing and Digital function supports business strategy and how your placement area fits into the bigger picture. You’ll complete corporate induction learning, receive systems training and agree clear placement objectives, including your end-of-programme presentation brief.

Throughout the 8 weeks, you’ll work alongside experienced Marketing and Digital professionals and collaborate across teams. You’ll see how campaigns are planned, delivered and measured, and how marketing supports customer engagement and commercial outcomes.

You’ll also have access to other interns on the scheme and regular feedback (at least weekly) to help you reflect and grow.

We’ll trust you with real responsibility, but you won’t be left to figure things out alone. You’ll receive guidance, stretch opportunities and regular feedback, while being encouraged to manage your time effectively and take ownership of your work.

By the end of the programme, you’ll deliver a final presentation on your project and leave with tangible experience, stronger commercial awareness and greater confidence in your own capability.

Application Process

Our application process is designed to be straightforward and focused on your potential. It includes an online assessment, a pre-recorded video interview and a virtual, skills-based interview with members of the team. We’re interested in how you think, communicate and approach problems rather than whether you’ve done this before.

If you successfully complete the internship, you may have the opportunity to be fast-tracked through future graduate programme selection processes, subject to availability and eligibility at the time.

Please note that you must have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the internship, as we’re unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.

This vacancy may close early depending on application volumes, so we’d encourage you to apply as soon as you feel ready.

About You

You don’t need previous marketing, digital, insurance or Financial Services experience to apply. We’re far more interested in your potential. Any kind of work experience is valuable — whether that’s a part-time role, university project, volunteering or involvement in a society. If you’ve taken ownership of tasks, balanced competing priorities, adapted to new situations or worked collaboratively with others, you’ve already started building skills that matter in this role.

Marketing and Digital at NFU Mutual operates in a regulated, customer-focused environment, so curiosity, adaptability, initiative and a willingness to learn are just as important as technical knowledge.

We’re particularly looking for:

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills – you’ll contribute to campaigns, collaborate with colleagues and agency partners, and help communicate ideas clearly and professionally across different audiences.


• Analytical thinking and commercial awareness – you’ll review campaign and digital performance data, interpret insights and understand how marketing activity supports wider business objectives.


• Creativity and problem-solving – whether shaping messaging, improving customer journeys or evaluating campaign effectiveness, you’ll be encouraged to think critically and generate ideas that add value.


• Attention to detail and accuracy – working within financial services means ensuring content, reporting and communications are precise and aligned to regulatory standards.


• Collaboration and teamwork – you’ll work closely with different teams across and some contact with teams across the wider business, so being able to build positive working relationships is essential.


• Digital literacy and a proactive learning mindset – confidence using tools such as Microsoft 365 is important, and you’ll need to be comfortable learning new systems, platforms and ways of working as part of a fast-paced environment.

If you’re motivated, creative and ready to challenge yourself in a professional environment where your contribution genuinely matters, we’d love to hear from you.
