As an Underwriting Account Service Associate, your responsibilities will include reviewing, evaluating, and summarizing risk exposures, controls, loss history, and financial conditions to assist in underwriting decisions regarding submission acceptance or declination. You will follow instructions from Underwriters in various areas such as policy rating, subjective pricing, policy construction, coverages and exclusions, and mandatory forms to ensure accurate quoting and issuance of policies. Additionally, you will provide account servicing support in collaboration with Underwriters and Managers, managing end-to-end servicing processes for new business, renewals, and endorsements for basic to moderately complex business and products. Responding to inquiries—both written and verbal—will be a key part of your role, and you will work closely with assigned Underwriters to support broker, agent, distributor, and customer interactions by providing essential customer service skills.
