ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES
Find a path fit to your goals
Professional growth and career development aren’t necessarily linear endeavors. And because these journeys can mean something different to everyone, Northwestern Mutual provides a variety of resources and guidance to ensure employees don’t have to navigate any path alone. While mentorship creates opportunities to network, broaden perspectives, and identify development goals, a particularly cool internal tool team members can leverage is the career profile, which matches them with potential roles, paths and development opportunities.

Ernesto
Senior Experience Designer
Delivering impactful financial solutions to Northwestern Mutual clients begins with “the collective ideas, opinions and creativity of a diverse workforce” and continues with goals outlined in a 15-year roadmap. To that end, Northwestern Mutual has launched initiatives to invest in Black entrepreneurs and advance women in tech, and weaves diversity into everything it does. More than 94 percent of employees have completed training on allyship and eight different ERGs provide underrepresented teammates with a culture of inclusivity and respect.
What I value most about the Hispanic ERG is that we can easily connect with colleagues who have a similar background. We share a connection, and it gives me a greater sense of belonging.
