Job Description

PRO IS, Inc. currently has exciting entry level Underwriting Support Assistant positions. These remote roles will suit candidates who are looking for a great entry level opportunity with a growing company. These positions can be full-time or part-time (20 – 25 hours per week). Some of the positions require a good working knowledge of Excel (pivot tables and VLOOKUP are needed for some but not all positions).

Underwriting Support Assistants do parts of the property and casualty insurance underwriting process to support the underwriters at our client companies. The duties vary depending on which client and part of the process the person is assigned to. We provide the training for our employees on the clients’ systems and processes. Some of the things they do could include the following.

POSITION TYPE 1 (Excel not required)

• Entering information about a potential policyholder into the client’s system.
• Mapping the property location to the nearest body of water.
• Verify that all the other parts of the process are completed and look correct and then combine documents for different parts of the policy to create the final policy document.

POSITION TYPE 2 (Excel required, Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP helpful but not required)

• Sorting and filtering data in Excel such as states, types of vehicles, payroll, sale, and other information pertinent to obtaining proper insurance rates.
• Analyzing and entering the needed information into the system.
• Using advanced functions in Excel, such as pivot tables and VLOOKUP, to standardize the data in spreadsheets. This can include searching for and correcting addresses, so they are in the needed format (for example “123 W Main St” not “123 West Main Street”).

POSITION TYPE 3 (Excel Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP needed)

• Converting Word and PDF documents into Excel.
• Using Google, Google Maps, and Bing to help determine the type of business, finding street addresses, and latitude and longitude of the location.
• Using Google Translate to translate documentation provided from our client’s international offices. These may include, but are not limited to, Spanish, Chinese, French, and Portuguese. Candidates do not need to be bi-lingual.

Candidates should have good Excel skills (for Positions 2 and 3), good decision-making skills and attention to detail, be accurate with their work, able to use Microsoft Word and Adobe, be organized, and be able to meet deadlines while working with multiple assignments. They also need to be flexible to work in multiple systems at once and work with people with different styles/work output preferences.

We provide the needed computer equipment. Candidates must have their own reliable and secure high-speed internet access (no hot spots) to work from home. Candidates must live in and be able to work from home in the United States of America.
