What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Underwriter position at Steadily Insurance Agency?
Steadily is an insurance technology company that specializes in rental property insurance for landlords. We’re three years old, just over 160 people, manage $20B in risk, and are intent on becoming the world’s best and largest insurer of rental properties.
We exist to deliver fast, affordable insurance and to pay claims quickly and fairly. To do that, we hire the best engineers, actuaries, sales, and service people in the country to build the experience that we’d want if we were the client.
Steadily is hiring an Associate Underwriter who is the very best at what they do. You'll be surrounded by team members who are also the very best at what they do which will just make you even better. You will be responsible for ensuring we are growing, writing profitable business, and making sure client requests are addressed quickly and effectively.
What You'll Do
- You will know the underwriting appetite and guidelines of our various programs intimately. We are not a “Dr. No” underwriting shop. We try to say yes as often as we can while mitigating risk.
- You will work closely with the underwriting team in reviewing endorsements, inspections, renewals, applications, quotes, etc.
- Provide impeccable support to internal and external agents which often includes addressing time-sensitive requests outside of normal business hours . We are reimagining what a modern underwriting department looks like and building a brand. You will be one of the faces of that brand.
- Process work in various internal systems including Salesforce. You will quickly become an SME on our internal platforms.
- Problem solve complex customer service and underwriting issues such as billing support, incomplete or delayed inspections, nuanced customer situations and risk profiles, etc.
- Maintain a high degree of accuracy in documenting underwriting files in our policy administration system.
Your Background
- Experienced: You have at least 1 year of experience in an insurance environment.
- Insurance: Basic knowledge of insurance coverage, products, and navigating carrier rating engines. Bonus if you have experience underwriting dwelling fire and homeowners products.
- Communication: You possess superior verbal and written communication skills. You can communicate concisely and diplomatically, maintaining a calm demeanor and professional communication.
- Digital: You have above average computer skills. You’re great at independently learning new software quickly and are savvy using online resources.
- Self-Driven: You thrive under intense pressure and can manage a large workload with minimal oversight. There is no task too small or beneath you; “that’s not my job” is not in your mantra.
- Hungry: You want to make the leap into an earlier-stage tech company to rapidly accelerate your growth. You want to roll up your sleeves and hustle – you are not looking for a traditional 9-5 job.
