About The Position

Underwriting Assistant Chapel Hill, NC (Onsite) Full-Time Entry-Level Ready to launch your career? HabGen Insurance is a specialty insurance program built exclusively for student housing and multifamily communities — and we're scaling fast. As an Underwriting Assistant, you'll get a front-row seat to how a modern insurance program runs, learn the habitational asset class from the people who built it, and grow your career in a small, focused team where your work is visible from day one. This is an entry-level role onsite in our Chapel Hill, NC office. It's a launchpad: many of our leaders started exactly here. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring an Underwriting Assistant to support our broader underwriting team as submission volume grows. You'll be hands-on from your first week, working alongside seasoned underwriters in a small, collaborative environment where ownership and curiosity are rewarded. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants real exposure to the mechanics of specialty insurance, room to grow, and a clear path forward.

Requirements

• Up to 1 year of experience in an office, administrative, data entry, or customer-facing role.
• Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Detail-oriented. You catch the things others miss — a wrong address, a missing loss year, a number that doesn't tie.
• Strong communicator. Clear, professional written and verbal communication. You'll interact with brokers daily and represent the HabGen brand.
• Comfortable with structured data.
• Working knowledge of Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail) and Slack.
• Quick to pick up new tools and platforms.
• Curious and resourceful. You ask the next question, look for the better way, and don't wait to be told what to do when there's a problem in front of you.
• Team-oriented. You enjoy working closely with others and take pride in making the team around you faster and sharper.

Nice To Haves

• A college degree or equivalent experience.
• Prior exposure to insurance, real estate, financial services, or a high-volume operations environment.
• Genuine interest in commercial property and casualty insurance as a career path.

Responsibilities

• Receive new submissions from brokers and triage them against HabGen's appetite and submission requirements (ACORD 125, SOV, loss runs, supplemental application).
• Clear and log new accounts in the underwriting platform to ensure data accuracy and completeness from the start.
• Pull and organize supporting documentation — loss runs, financials, sponsor information, and territory data — so underwriters can focus on the decision.
• Assist underwriters with policy issuance, endorsements, and other transactional workflows.
• Coordinate with brokers on missing items and follow-ups, keeping submissions moving and our 24-hour turnaround commitment intact.
• Maintain account hygiene, submission logs, and operational reporting that keep the team accountable.
• Flag friction. If a step in our process is slow, manual, or duplicative, we want to hear about it — and we want your ideas on how to fix it.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and annual bonus potential, commensurate with experience.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with employer contributions to a Health Savings Account.
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
• Employer-paid life and AD&D insurance, with options for supplemental life and short- and long-term disability coverage.
• Wellness and lifestyle benefits, including telehealth, an Employee Assistance Program, pet insurance, and an exclusive discount platform.
• Paid time off and a culture that respects your time outside of work.
• A real career path. Underwriting Assistant is the front door to commercial underwriting at HabGen, and we promote from within.
