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.

I’m passionate about being a good people leader. I’ve given my team members expanded roles and scope. I believe in giving the people I manage autonomy and letting them learn and grow through new challenges.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

DRIVEN BY DIVERSITY

Make a commitment to inclusion and respect

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.

TECH WITH PURPOSE

Build tech products with purpose

Northwestern Mutual builds platforms and utilizes technology to help families, individuals, and businesses achieve holistic financial freedom and security. The team continuously adapts and innovates to keep up with tech trends because building tools and systems to create a seamless client experience aligns with the company’s mission and gives employees hands-on ways to grow their technological skills. Northwestern Mutual also introduced initiatives and volunteer programs to further the development of purposeful technology.

We're constantly challenging and innovating, releasing new features and driving towards new goals. I’m launching new digital products, making sure that we always go back to what the client will experience and how we can make it better.
