Associate Underwriter Trainee
About The Position
Every account has a story and here at Seneca Insurance Company, we believe in combining the best of technology with the human touch to create the flexible, customized coverage solutions your insureds need for their businesses to thrive. Speed and access to information are ever more critical to decision making in today’s data-driven world, especially in insurance. At Seneca, we understand that automation and AI will be even more critical in the future. That’s why we have continued to invest in technology that can take the more mundane parts of the underwriting process and free up our underwriters to do what they do best – focus on our clients to produce customized solutions based on the data. For example, Seneca Express can take a submission to our specialty package team, read it, and then immediately pull the relevant reports for our underwriters to price the policy and get it to our partners as quickly as possible. This gives our clients the best of both worlds – the speed of the platform with the power of our underwriters. At Seneca, there’s always someone on the other end who is ready to listen and give you the focused, hands-on attention you need. The best of technology with the human touch. It’s a powerful combination that Seneca will put to work for you to create solutions for your difficult-to-place risks. Seneca is a wholly owned subsidiary of Crum & Forster and part of the Fairfax Financial Holdings, Inc. family of companies, providing us with the strength and stability of a larger organization. We operate two legal entities to offer products on an admitted and non-admitted basis: Seneca Insurance Company and Seneca Specialty Insurance Company, both in all 50 states.
