At The Cigna Group, we believe data and analytics are essential to solving the most pressing challenges in healthcare. That’s why we’ve created the Analytics Leadership Development Program (ALDP)—a strategic initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of analytics and data science leaders across our organization.

Through both full-time and internship opportunities, ALDP associates lead high-impact projects that deliver meaningful value to our customers. Participants receive targeted training, mentorship, and exposure to senior leaders, while gaining deep insights into our business lines.

Participants will emerge from this program equipped with a strong foundation in leadership, communication, and business strategy. This skill set will prepare them to drive meaningful impact in the evolving world of data and analytics.
