Health Underwriter jobs in Kansas

We are a fast-growing, venture-backed insurance technology company for landlords and we're looking for an exceptional Underwriter to join our team! At Steadily, the underwriting team is responsible for profitability and impeccable service to customers. We are not your old school underwriting department. We leverage cutting edge technology and tools to gain a competitive advantage. We run lean as we automate and streamline the underwriting process while achieving exceptional loss ratios. We measure our service levels in minutes, not days.

As an Underwriter, you will be responsible for ensuring we are growing, writing profitable business, and making sure client requests are addressed quickly and effectively.
Steadily's purpose is to help landlords all over the United States purchase insurance through a modern experience and feel confident that they have the coverage they need in case of a rainy day. Because of our cutting edge technology, our clients love being insured by us, even when they have a claim.

We have a strong preference for property underwriter candidates who have experience in midwestern states.

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 be responsible for growing our books of business profitably.
• Provide impeccable support to internal and external agents which often includes addressing time-sensitive requests outside of normal business hours (e.g. evenings and weekends). 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.
• You will work closely with the product team to help us build the best landlord insurance product in the world.
• Assist with ongoing QC efforts to ensure a high quality underwriting product. As a high growth company, rigorous QC processes are essential.
• 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 three years of experience in a P&C insurance environment and two years of property underwriting experience (mortgage underwriting need-not-apply). You're a property underwriting savant. Prior sales and/or coastal underwriting experience are a big plus.
• Insurance: 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.
