Underwriting Operations Specialist II

Branch is on a mission to make insurance less expensive, so more people can be covered. We innovate using data, tech, and automation to simplify insurance from start to finishwe eliminated inaccurate quotes in favor of real prices, created a better way to bundle, and cut unnecessary costs in the traditional insurance process. Then we pass those savings along to our members. Basically, we're doing insurance the way it was meant to be.

But we didn't just create the insurance we've always wanted, we also created the company we've always wanted to work for. As we redefine insurance, we also want to redefine what it means to work in insurance. Find out for yourself.
