New Britain CT, United States MassMutual Full time

The Opportunity

As an Underwriting Consultant - Core on MassMutual's Accelerated Underwriting Team, you will be part of a dynamic group of underwriters dedicated to fulfilling the commitment of MassMutual's accelerated (fluidless) underwriting strategy. This is a fast-paced diverse work environment that is inclusive and values different experiences, backgrounds, and knowledge. You will be immersed in a team with a primary focus on delivering quality fluidless underwriting decisions within expected time standards.

The Team

The Accelerated Underwriting Team consists of underwriters specializing in cases trending towards a fluidless underwriting outcome. This includes a diverse mix of both early-career and seasoned professionals, collectively contributing to the team's success. The accelerated underwriting challenge, involving decisions with limited information, demands a blend of analytical thinking, adaptability, and collaboration. The team will also play an important role in supporting the regional core teams, ensuring a smooth transition for cases determined to be not eligible for fluidless processing. You will work toward a “best offer first” mentality, and a collaborative, customer-focused mindset. Additionally, you will be given opportunities to underwrite non-accelerated business as well in order to continue to grow your skills.

The Impact

Evaluate and handle all underwriting aspects of formal life insurance applications
Understand underwriting policies, guidelines, practices and procedures
Determine fluidless eligibility, as well as whether to accept, modify, or decline a risk through evaluation of an individual's medical history or physical condition, occupational hazard, and financial background
Deliver the best offer first to drive the sale and not only a decision
Communicate effectively with customers to explain underwriting decisions and facilitate placement of business
Ability to tailor communication style to fit the target audience
Collaborate effectively with stakeholders to gather information necessary for decision making and to select profitable risks

Minimum Qualifications

A high school diploma/GED
1+ years of prior life insurance underwriting experience with a granted approval authority

Preferred Qualifications

4-year college degree
Existing approval authority of $1 million or greater
Industry exams, training, and designations (i.e. ACS, ALMI, FLMI, FALU)
Knowledge of fluidless and non-fluidless underwriting, including an understanding of the roles of underwriting rules, data models, and algorithmic underwriting
Solid understanding of underwriting concepts as well as medical, non-medical, and financial risks
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment; ability to multi-task
Flexibility to handle changing priorities
Familiarity with technology tools and digital acumen

What to Expect as Part of MassMutual and the Team

Regular meetings with the Accelerated Underwriting team
Focused one-on-one meetings with your manager
Access to mentorship opportunities
Networking opportunities including access to Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, African American, women, LGBTQ, veteran and disability-focused Business Resource Groups
Access to learning content on Degreed and other informational platforms
Your ethics and integrity will be valued by a company with a strong and stable ethical business with industry leading pay and benefits
