What you'll do
Medical, financial, and non-medical information analysis produces sound, timely underwriting decisions that align with guidelines and risk appetite. Second signature support and guidance flow to junior underwriters to ensure consistent decision quality and adherence to standards. Internal sales and distribution teams partner closely to support business objectives and address needs within the independent agent and BGA marketplace. High-volume caseload management occurs while meeting service and quality standards, balancing workload and priorities effectively.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field or through alternative experience forms the educational foundation. Minimum life insurance underwriting experience of 8 years involves handling varied risk classes. Large and complex cases, including impaired risks, undergo underwriting with proven sound judgment. Experience within the independent agent or brokerage (BGA) distribution channel shapes collaboration with producers and intermediaries. Decision-making authority on higher face amounts and complex risk profiles reflects a track record of timely, defensible decisions.
Nice to have
Industry designations such as FALU, FLMI, CLU, or equivalent coursework deepen underwriting expertise. Professional development aligned with evolving underwriting practices and regulatory expectations continues throughout the role.
Skills & tools
Proficiency in underwriting platforms and decision-support tools enables effective life insurance risk assessment. Analytical, communication, and relationship management abilities function well in a distributed work environment.
Practical notes
This position operates as a fully remote, part-time role with national exposure. Collaboration across underwriting, sales, and distribution teams remains integral. Typical interview steps
Content hiring usually starts with a writing test or portfolio review. Candidates may be asked to rewrite a passage, outline an article, or draft a landing page. Editing skill is tested as often as original writing. Clear structure and attention to detail matter. Interviewers often assign a timed writing test. Following the brief exactly and editing ruthlessly are the two habits that score highest.
Good to know
The position focuses on high-value, complex underwriting cases. Comprehensive benefits include health coverage, mental health support, paid time off, parental leave, and retirement plans with company matching.
Questions to ask
Worth asking in any interview: how the team measures success, who the role works with daily, what the onboarding looks like, and what the company is trying to achieve this year. Asking what past hires did well is a strong final question. Keep the list short and pick the questions that matter most to you.
Career growth
Content careers grow from writer to senior writer, editor, and content lead roles. Some people specialize in search, technical writing, or brand voice. Proving measurable impact, such as traffic or conversion lift, drives progression. Content careers reward a visible portfolio and proven business results. Writers who understand their company's product and audience grow fastest.
