Who We Are:    

PURE Insurance is a reciprocal exchange which is just a fancy way of saying we are owned by the members we insure. Why does it matter? Well, it’s part of what makes PURE, PURE! It means that you’ll never hear us talk about stock prices or maximizing profit because serving our membership is our only priority. And we can’t do that without our strategic underwriters that responsibly review risks to protect our membership.   

Who You Are:    

You are empathetic, passionate, intellectually curious and a team player that never hesitates to help. You have a heart of service and enjoy cultivating solid and impactful relationships with broker partners. You think outside the box with ease, and you are energized by finding creative solutions to meet the needs of current and potential members. When it comes to making decisions on risks, you use the information you have gathered alongside the underwriting guidelines to determine whether to bind or not. Taking ownership and always following through come naturally. You have a strong understanding of the market, a clear view of how to manage a healthy book of business, and take pride in fostering a collaborative team environment by mentoring and supporting underwriters and senior underwriters to grow and succeed. 

What You'll Need:    

You have at least 7 years of experience underwriting, preferably in the high net worth space and you are comfortable owning a book of business. Direct, empathetic communication is a staple in every aspect of your day, and you thrive on building connections with people. You know how to gather and analyze all the data you’ll need to make a decision on a risk. You work with pride and determination.    

What You’ll Do:  

No matter the role, delivering exceptional service is the priority in everything we do at PURE. As an Underwriting Specialist, this looks like:   

• Business Management: Reviewing your book of business, tracking performance, and analyzing market conditions and competition.  

• Broker Partnership: Building and managing broker relationships, developing goals and strategies, and collaborating to craft tailored solutions for members.  

• Underwriting Execution: Oversee new and renewal underwriting, select risks per company guidelines, and ensure timely follo
