My career is focused on evaluating and analysing risk in order to provide insurance coverage on specific terms as an insurance underwriter. I assess and make decisions based on data, analysing applications and available financial and medical information in conjunction with the company’s underwriting policy and decisioning tools. I make certain that policies are priced accurately commensurate to the calculated risk, taking care that the company continues earning profit. My profession requires great analytical skills, attention to detail and knowledge of the legal regulations surrounding insurance, as well as the market’s insurance offerings. I also interact with the agents and brokers to explain the requirements necessary for them as well as clarify my decisions concerning the underwriting processes.
