Underwriting Coordinator, Facultative

We’re looking for someone with reinsurance background who brings together technical expertise, process discipline, and a genuine enthusiasm for working with people.  If you move easily between details and dialogue, processes and people, independent problem-solving and teamwork, we’d love to hear from you!

 

About the Role

 

This is a fantastic entry point for someone eager to build deep expertise in facultative reinsurance operations.  In this role you will be an essential partner to our team of Facultative Underwriters supporting for all non–client facing activities, including but not limited to:

 

  • Data entry of Submission risk clearance
  • Policy tracking and client follow-ups for missing documents
  • Provide administrative support regarding records management and processes for the business relationships in his/her area of responsibility
  • Assists in the planning and reporting process including data gathering and data entry
  • Enforces and maintains guidelines throughout all facultative risks including archiving and storage planning

 

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable diving into the details of a data set, identifying and resolving inconsistencies, organizing information in a clear and reliable way and picking up the phone to follow up with a colleague.  A big part of the job is handling information flows, spotting gaps, and ensuring accuracy across systems and documents — so an analytical mindset and ease with structured tasks are as essential as engaging with colleagues, sharing ideas, asking questions, and building strong working relationships.

 

 

About the Team

 

We are a friendly and diverse group of individuals located in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico with a wide range of experience in the reinsurance industry. We support North America Property and Casualty Reinsurance teams and units in delivering on their core mandates. We are part of a global team called Reinsurance Business Operations, bringing together different perspectives, backgrounds, and expertise as we collaborate closely with our colleagues all over the world.

 

 

About You

 

Naturally curious, you enjoy getting into the technical complexities and understanding how processes and systems fit together, taking pride in accuracy and quality, all while thriving through conversation, collaboration, and being part of a team.

 

You possess exceptional communication skills with strong customer focus and service orientation, especially when supporting underwriters and stakeholders.  Comfortably working both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment, you can support underwriters across different locations and time zones.

 

Additional requirements include:

 

  • Proven experience in the (re)insurance industry, preferably in operational, underwriting support, or business services roles
  • Strong understanding of operational processes such as submissions handling, policy documentation and general reinsurance workflows
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to work with complex information accurately
  • Apply sound judgment, logic, and common sense in decision-making
  • Demonstrates willingness to share knowledge and act as a reference point for less experienced team members
  • Comfortable working with data and maintaining organized and accurate information across multiple systems
  • Ability to spot inconsistencies and resolve
  • Experience identifying process gaps and contributing to operational improvements
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for end-to-end task completion

 

 

Our company has a hybrid work model where the expectation is that you will be in the office at least three days per week.  This position is not eligible for full-time telework, relocation assistance or visa sponsorship.

 

 

The estimated base salary range for this position is $52,000 to $78,000.  The specific salary offered for this or any given role will take into account a number of factors including but not limited to job location, scope of role, qualifications, complexity/specialization/scarcity of talent, experience, education, and employer budget.  At Swiss Re, we take a "total compensation approach" when making compensation decisions. This means that we consider all components of compensation in their totality (such as base pay, short-and long-term incentives, and benefits offered), in setting individual compensation.
