Hartford 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
