We are committed to underwriting as our core skill and as a cornerstone of our culture
Since our core value is underwriting profit, there's a primary importance in hiring and training the best underwriters in the industry. As an underwriter, there are a variety of directions your career can take.
A facultative underwriter reinsures risks on an individual basis, and the chances for taking on early responsibility are pronounced. Risks can vary tremendously, from a manufacturer's product liability, to insurance on a high-rise office building, to transit and location coverage for a multi-million dollar art exhibit. What is particularly unique to an underwriting career at Gen Re is the opportunity to develop marketing, analytical and technical skills. Your responsibilities are not limited to only one area of expertise. With primary insurance companies as clients, there is also the additional benefit and challenge of dealing directly with a professional and knowledgeable clientele.
Our marketing and underwriting employees work closely to reinsure entire lines of business for our clients. These are complex contracts, called treaties, which insure all of a company's homeowners, auto, or other types of coverages. Other divisions and subsidiaries of the company provide specialty lines insurance and excess risk transfer opportunities through the broker markets. Whatever your career objectives, Gen Re can provide continued challenge and professional growth.
Exceptional opportunities also exist for actuarial and claims professionals. Business and finance majors will find a variety of career choices such as auditors, accountants and other financial professionals.
The many options open to information technology specialists at Gen Re include developing and working with the most sophisticated technology available today.
When new employees come on board, one thing that stands out to them is our corporate culture.
