What are the responsibilities and job description for the Group Insurance Underwriter position at Guy Carpenter?
The Smith Group is the market leader in support for the Group Benefits industry. For decades, The Smith Group has maintained a stellar reputation for thought leadership and top-notch service to clients. The group is small (13 people) with a very tight-knit, collaborative environment. The Smith Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Guy Carpenter.
We are seeking a Group Insurance Underwriter, with experience at either a direct Group writer or a Reinsurer. In addition to having regular responsibilities of reinsurance underwriting, we would be looking for this individual to support the broader set of consulting services and market intelligence that Smith Group delivers to clients every day. All members of the Smith Group team are proactive problem-solvers, and we’d expect the same from any new teammate. You should seek opportunities to act independently instead of waiting for someone to tell you what to do. We also highly value strong communication skills since all Smith Group employees frequently interact with our clients directly.
While Portland, Maine is the preferred location, we will consider other office locations for the right candidate. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in a Guy Carpenter office.
We will rely on you to:
