Junior Underwriting Assistant - Inshur (Us)

Would you like to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly with countless opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you! In 2023, ABI was acquired by INSHUR, the fastest-growing global provider of insurance for the on-demand economy, making coverage fair and accessible for drivers.

We are looking for a Junior Underwriting Assistant here at ABI, based in Westlake Village, CA. You’ll be working for a busy Commercial Insurance Brokerage that specializes in the "for hire" transportation industry, which includes taxicab, limousine, and rideshare TNC APP based companies.

Supported by (and reporting to) the Chief Underwriting Officer, you'll be joining a friendly team of nine who believe in delivering exceptional service with a high standard of integrity.

What you'll do

As our Junior Underwriting Assistant you will be responsible for assisting the Underwriting department by collecting external customer information, performing data entry, helping with risk assessments, state filings, motor vehicle record reviews, policy cancellations/reinstatements, and policy binds. 

We don’t have a checklist of skills - our hiring process is much more about aptitude and passion than ticking boxes. So don’t worry if you’ve not used a particular tool or checked off all the listed skills and experience.

That said, below is a guideline of skills that we think would make you successful in this role.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Understand the basics of Auto Insurance (or have a willingness to learn)
• Possess critical thinking and decision making skills
• Are a clear and effective communicator
• Have plenty of experience with Microsoft Office including Excel
• Are passionate about contributing to the success of a team

Your colleagues say you are:

• Detail oriented 
• Have a positive attitude
• Collaborative
• Adaptable 
  

What we offer

We provide a friendly and stimulating environment for everyone to grow, learn and thrive in. We operate in a hybrid of remote and office-based work and we encourage a flexible way of working to adapt to personal circumstances and individual and business needs. 

Our budget for this role is between $50,000 - $60,000 and we will take into account your previous experience and location of work when agreeing on the final offer. 

We offer all our employees stock options and we've built a benefits package that invests in our employees’ long-term personal and professional growth and well-being. Here’s a sample of what this includes:

• 25 days PTO (+ 5 days after 5 years) and 5 days sick leave
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance 
• Basic Life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
• 401k match
• Up to 13 weeks full pay parental leave regardless of your gender
• Annual training allowance and regular learning opportunities

It goes without saying that we provide everyone with a laptop, monitor, top of the range kit, and any software you need.
