Location: 100% Remote (EST)
Title: Life Underwriting Quality Specialist

Why This Role Stands Out:

This is not a production underwriting role where you are simply pushing files through the system. This position gives you the opportunity to step into a broader quality, audit, and risk-focused function where your expertise and judgment will directly influence underwriting consistency, operational quality, and process improvement initiatives across the organization.
You will work closely with senior underwriting leadership, including the Chief Underwriter, helping assess underwriting quality, identify operational risks, strengthen controls, and improve overall underwriting practices. This role offers strong visibility and the chance to become deeply involved in projects that impact underwriting operations at a strategic level.
The environment is collaborative, stable, and team-oriented, with leadership that truly values thoughtful underwriting and professional development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct quality reviews and audits of underwriting decisions to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to underwriting guidelines
• Partner closely with underwriting leadership to identify trends, risks, deficiencies, and opportunities for operational improvement
• Evaluate underwriting practices, internal controls, and compliance with company procedures and regulatory standards
• Assist with underwriting audits, risk assessments, reporting, and process walkthroughs
• Provide constructive feedback to underwriting staff and contribute to ongoing quality improvement initiatives
• Support cross-functional projects involving underwriting operations, reporting, controls, and data governance
• Help prepare audit findings, operational reports, and presentations for senior leadership
• Participate in initiatives focused on improving underwriting efficiency, quality, and consistency

What They’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of Life Insurance underwriting experience with strong risk assessment capabilities
• Experience within underwriting quality assurance, audit, compliance, or underwriting operations highly preferred
• Strong understanding of life underwriting processes, insurance operations, and underwriting guidelines
• Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills
• Someone who enjoys identifying problems, improving processes, and helping strengthen underwriting quality
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a highly professional environment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work

What Employees Appreciate About Working Here:

• 100% remote work environment with strong work/life balance
• Extremely stable organization with a long-standing reputation for integrity and strong leadership
• Excellent employee retention and collaborative culture
• Outstanding benefits package including strong retirement contributions and generous paid time off
• Professional development support, tuition reimbursement, and certification assistance
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced underwriting leadership and continue growing your career

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to leverage their underwriting expertise in a broader, more strategic quality-focused role while joining an organization known for stability, professionalism, and meaningful work.
