About The Position

Nautilus Insurance Group is seeking motivated candidates for our June 2026 EDGE program.

Our extensive, six-month program offers classroom and practical instruction for candidates pursuing a career in property and casualty underwriting. This unique opportunity is dedicated just for you to learn about insurance and the art of underwriting.
