Description
Who We AreMethod Workers' Compensation is a portfolio of workers' comp companies with the same mission: minimizing the human and financial cost of workplace injuries. We mitigate workplace injuries and deliver exceptional healthcare outcomes for injured workers, expediting a return to work, preserving families' livelihoods, and enhancing employers' productivity.

What To Expect
As part of the Insurance Services team, the primary responsibility of the Director of Underwriting Programs is to analyze and evaluate underwriting workflows, coverages, regulation, compliance, and overall evolution of underwriting. This role manages the organization of daily operations within the Underwriting department. This role works with all levels of Underwriters to audit, coach, and reinforce solid underwriting decision-making as it pertains to policy coverages, rating regulations, and state compliance guidelines. As the needs of the department change and grow, the Director of Underwriting Programs will be responsible for updating policies, informing & training underwriters, and implementing new protocols for these operational efficiencies, and managing the underwriting team. The area of responsibility for this role is very wide and requires thorough knowledge and understanding of various company processes. This is a full-time, salaried exempt position with standard business hours of Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, with some flexibility at manager's discretion.
What You'll Do
What You Need
In exchange for your time and expertise, we offer competitive compensation, 401(k) plus matching, health benefits (including HSA Contribution), paid disability, paid parental leave, professional development opportunities, and a hybrid/remote work environment. This is an opportunity to play a key role in the continued success of a growing organization.
Unless fully remote, this position operates in a professional office setting and routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, filing cabinets, and fax machines. This is largely a sedentary role with prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer. However, some filing is necessary and may require the ability to lift files, open filing cabinets and bend or stand on a stool as necessary.
Method Workers' Compensation is an equal opportunity employer regardless of race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religious beliefs, marital status, genetic information, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.
