About The Position

The Stop Loss Analyst supports the growth of Amwins Self-Funded’s Stop Loss book of business by providing data, analysis, and documentation for new business and renewals. Working with Sales Executives, Account Executives, and Account Managers, the analyst reviews claims and census data, prepares marketing and renewal materials, tracks carrier responses, and provides insights that inform pricing and placement decisions. The role is primarily in-office, with the flexibility to work from home up to two days per week after completing training. The analyst also maintains case files and account documentation, reviews policy documents, responds to carrier and underwriter data requests, and collaborates with carrier, underwriting, and claims contacts to keep accounts and timelines moving.
