The Bond & Specialty Insurance (BSI) Underwriting Internship Program provides qualified interns with an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand experience, receive valuable on-the-job training and learn more about the property & casualty insurance industry. What exactly is an Underwriter? Insurance is the contractual transfer of financial risk from one party to another.

An underwriting career includes a dynamic blend of analytical and marketing skills – it's challenging, stimulating and a superb career choice. BSI provides management liability, professional liability and surety to businesses of all sizes. It also provides traditional property casualty coverages to financial institutions, and is organized into six separate and distinct business units which include: Commercial Surety (protects a third party from the failure of an insured to perform or fulfill an obligation); Construction Services (insuring the bond between contractors and clients); Financial Institutions (insurance for community banks, credit unions, insurance companies, investment advisors and large depository & non-depository institutions); Private/Non Profit Liability (insurance products for private companies and non-profit institutions); Professional Liability (coverage protects against liability claims for negligence, errors and omissions in the performance of professional services; and Public Company Liability (insurance products crafted to address the diverse management liability exposures faced by today's public companies.) Positions last approximately 10-12 weeks beginning in late May/early June and ending in mid-August. Housing assistance is not provided.

Program Development Manager Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a program development manager in Massachusetts?
Most program development managers in Massachusetts begin with a bachelor's degree in public health, social work, education, business, or a related field, then move into program coordinator or project manager roles to build hands-on experience. Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license for this role, but many employers in the healthcare and nonprofit sectors prefer candidates who have completed a graduate degree or hold a Project Management Professional credential. Building a record of grant-funded projects and community partnerships strengthens candidacy significantly.
Which companies hire program development managers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring program development managers in Massachusetts right now include Entegris, Travelers, and MOM's Organic Market, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense concentration of research hospitals, health systems, and large nonprofits makes it one of the more active states for this role year-round.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most program development manager jobs?
Boston, Natick, and Waltham have the most program development manager openings in Massachusetts. Boston dominates because of its anchoring healthcare systems, research institutions, and nonprofit headquarters, while Worcester and Cambridge generate steady hiring through UMass Memorial Health, MIT-affiliated research programs, and a growing cluster of mission-driven organizations.
Are there remote program development manager jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than many comparable roles. About 90% of program development manager openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves planning, writing, and cross-team coordination rather than on-site program delivery. Grant writing, curriculum design, and strategic planning functions are the most commonly offered as fully remote positions.
How can I get hired as a program development manager in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a program coordinator or program associate role, which Massachusetts employers across healthcare systems, community health centers, and nonprofits use as the standard pipeline for future program development managers. Institutions like Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services, and large community development organizations regularly hire entry-level staff into structured program roles. A relevant graduate certificate, volunteer grant-writing experience, or a portfolio showing a single end-to-end initiative can differentiate a candidate without formal program management history.
Where can I find and apply to program development manager jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to program development manager jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across healthcare, education, nonprofit, and life sciences employers. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly through each listing.
