Assistant Underwriter Summer Internship

Responsibilities

Our employees do not have to work on the same thing day in and day out. When someone needs coverage for the unique, the unusual, or the unconventional, they come to us. Leave the mundane auto and life insurance programs to someone else. We’re specialists.

Our employees deliver insurance for everything from kidnapping and ransom to high-speed racing boats, skyscrapers and professional athletes. We even insure extreme sporting events including world famous skiers and athletes performing mid-air twists and turns down a man-made snow hill in the warm streets of California. Our team can write, insure, and finance specialty insurance policies that other companies cannot handle.

With over 50 offices across the US and Canada, we’re the largest independent wholesaler in North America. We even have an office in London and write more business with Lloyd’s of London than any other company. Want to be challenged every day? Join our team.

The specific statements shown in each section of this description are not intended to be all-inclusive. They represent typical elements and criteria necessary to successfully perform the job.
