  • At least 1-2 years of experience in insurance underwriting, with a demonstrated focus on renters and travel insurance products.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, evaluate risk, and make sound, evidence-based decisions.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex information in a clear and concise manner.
  • High attention to detail, accuracy, and organizational skills.
