At Root, we don't solely think of Underwriting as a means for risk management: we utilize it as a tool for growth.

Through an understanding of both rating and underwriting, you'll outline procedures to validate that the data we use is the most up-to-date. Conducting cost-benefit and return on investment analyses, you'll optimize new programs to maximize bottom-line impact.

What you'll be doing:

  • Develop new programs and associated processes, procedures, and controls
  • Collaborate with Legal and Compliance to comply with state statutes
  • Research and develop insurance application fraud prevention measures
  • Build reports on underwriting activity & key customer metrics
  • Identify and engage 3rd party vendors for various data needs

What we're looking for:

  • 5+ years general personal lines insurance experience with at least 2 years in Product or Underwriting roles
