About (Updated Salary) Senior Underwriter

  What You'll Do

  As a member of our Individual Life New Business Underwriting Team, you'll be part of a mid-level underwriting team handling risk assessments on life insurance applicants. You’ll also be responsible for communicating and building strong partnerships with our field offices and agents. This is a phenomenal opportunity to be on the leading edge of innovations and new technologies!

  Here are a few examples of the types of things you'll do:

  Support marketing goals by issuing life insurance coverage on a favorable and timely basis consistent with mortality objectives.

  Support profitability goals by assessing the expected mortality/morbidity of individual life applicants, analyzing medical, non-medical, and financial information and classifying risk appropriately.

  While acting within a brokerage agency underwriting capacity, negotiate offers for placement of policies with the appropriate carrier. This may include acting as a partner to sales managers and producers to arrive at the best solution for a proposed insured.

  This position is also a phenomenal way to advance your career. As a growing company with over 16,000 employees around the world, Principal offers a lot of ways for you to learn more, earn more and achieve more.

  Who You Are

  College degree or equivalent and 4+ years of individual life underwriting experience plus advanced knowledge of multi-life and other insurance arrangements, financial documents, and tax forms used in personal and/or business planning.

  Ability to use creativity in finding ways to facilitate sale of key cases or explain the company's position on adverse decisions.

  Maintain professional level of expertise recognized both within and outside the company.

  Exemplify strong leadership and work in a constantly evolving environment.

  Ongoing progress towards FLMI, RHU and AALU designations and participation in CLU education courses.
