As an Underwriting Team Leader, you are given the flexibility to structure your own schedule which translates into an amazing quality of life. Of course, we expect you to put in a solid day’s work but no one is breathing down your neck about it. It is important to us that our team is happy and we know that no one is happy missing important life events, whether a school or sporting event for your children or a half-day on Friday for a long weekend with your significant other.

There is no travel, no prospecting, no cold calling or sales quotas. We provide you with a seasoned book of business and producers. You will be expertly trained, persistently mentored, and always have a full complement of support staff behind you. Our Sales & Marketing team will hunt down new clients to expand your agency book of producers as well as to circle behind your quotes to help you close deals. A team of assistant underwriters will handle the nontechnical aspects of day to day paperwork.

 We bonus everyone on a team-based culture where everyone is focused on the “we” rather than “me” in everything they do.

This is a 100% remote role. You provide high-speed internet and telephone (cellular/hardline) and we drop-ship you a computer and dual monitors. Most of our team have a dedicated office in their homes that they work from however we also offer an executive office suite (like a Regus or WeWork) option for those who want to get out of the house.

This is arguably the best Underwriter role any professional could hope for. The proof is that our staff has been with us an average of 13 years with some over 20.

If we like what we see, we will send you an email invitation to take a personality dynamics assessment which is the first phase of our selection process. The assessment provides us with feedback to best select which trainer, manager, support staff, etc will be the most comfortable fit for you. Once we dial that fit in, we will coordinate the scheduling of interviews with the team so you can ask the hard questions and determine if we are all that we say we are.
