Who we are looking for
We are looking for an Assistant Underwriter to support the Renewable Energy Core Property Insurance team through risk assessment, submission triage, clearance, agent/broker follow-up, modeling, and associated administrative support through the policy lifecycle. You will also be responsive to marketing, underwriting, retention, and service standards that support a quality book of business.

What you can look forward to
  • Working closely with industry experts to build a new product line in a fast-growing insurtech company.
  • Evaluating applications for renewable energy property insurance and supporting Senior Underwriters with pricing, approvals, declinations, and policy administration.
  • Managing new business, renewals, and endorsements.

What you likely need to do the job well
  • Underwriting experience: You are familiar with the ins and outs of P&C insurance, having worked in an underwriting support role or as an underwriter for 1-3 years writing all risk insurance coverage. Natural catastrophe underwriting experience and experience with Nat Cat modeling is a plus.
  • 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 are ready 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.

  • Customer service focus: You view and approach KWH partners with a relationship mindset being responsive and working together to solve problems.
