Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for an entrepreneurial insurance leader to be an underwriter in our Renewable Energy Property Insurance division.

What You Can Look Forward To

  • Working closely with the C-Suite of a fast-growing insurtech to build a new product line
  • Owning your work, from strategic inception to successful execution, in a low-bureaucracy environment
  • Cross-functional interactions with senior management, data science, marketing, and underwriting support staff

  • Critical thinker: You can quickly synthesize large volumes of (often conflicting) information, and develop a thesis. You can clearly articulate your proposal with supporting data.
  • Operational Capability: We are a startup and need people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and who bias towards action
  • Self-starter: You can independently lead and manage projects. You know when to ask for help but also trust your analytical frameworks
  • A thinker and a doer: You can hold multiple stakeholders perspectives in your head, devise a solution, and then rapidly build consensus around that solution
  • A relationship manager: Youve worked with brokers and fostered mutually beneficial relationships to build a good book of business.
  • Travel: You value opportunities to meet with brokers, carriers, renewable industry leaders and stakeholders as well as the team you work with virtually
