You’ll play a critical role in interpreting underwriting rules, rating algorithms, and product documentation—primarily using Excel—and translating them into efficient, compliant, and functional configurations. You’ll be at the forefront of modernizing how insurers bring their products to market, directly influencing our client's ability to launch and adapt their offerings with speed and accuracy. We are an AI-enabled team and use AI tools to support product configuration, documentation, research, and workflow efficiency.
