    Job Description
    The Opportunity


    John Hancock Insurance provides estate and business planning solutions for high-net-worth individuals and is recognized as a leader in this market.

    Innovative products and expertise in underwriting of large insurance policies on older age individuals with complicated medical impairments is recognized as a core competency contributing to John Hancock's success.

    We operate in a highly competitive brokerage environment, where each case is shopped aggressively to multiple carriers in search of the most competitive offer.

    While we have always been in the large case, older age market, the mix of business is also transitioning to transactional business in the middle market.

    We are leveraging automation and technology to support the business at all levels requiring adaptation by our staff to new ways of processing business.

    The role of the Underwriters is to provide front-line support in an underwriting context to our various customers who include producer groups, independent marketing organizations and their member brokerage agencies and institutional accounts, all of whom demand top-notch service and competitive underwriting offers.

    Staff are expected to manage the expectations of these aggressive producers and there is an increased need to "sell" the underwriting offer in this competitive environment.

    How will you create impact?
    The Senior Underwriting Director, reporting to a Managing Senior Underwriting Director, will be experienced in handling high face amounts.

    They bring a specialized skill set and a keen attention to detail that is essential in accurately assessing and managing the risks associated with these substantial policies.

    Their expertise in underwriting high face amounts enables them to meticulously evaluate complex cases, apply advanced risk assessment methodologies, and ensure that the underwriting process aligns with the unique considerations of large policies.


    The Senior Underwriting Director will also:
    Continue maintenance and growth of our strength in Underwriting
    Manage relationships with all Customers including Regional Sales Vice Presidents, National Sales Vice Presidents, Advanced Markets, Producer Groups, and Producers
    Manage change in a highly competitive market
    Stay abreast of emerging trends, regulatory changes, and market dynamics
    Contribute to the development and implementation of underwriting best practices

    What motivates you?
    You obsess about customers, listen, engage and act for their benefit.
    You think big, with curiosity to discover ways to use your agile approach and enable business outcomes.
    You thrive in teams and enjoy getting things done together.
    You take ownership and build solutions, focusing on what matters.
    You do what is right, work with integrity and speak up.
    You share your humanity, helping us build a diverse and inclusive work environment for everyone.

    Job Requirements:
    Post-secondary education or equivalent work experience.
    Minimum 10 years Life underwriting experience
    AALU or FALU designation preferred. ACS designation is an asset as well.
    Expert knowledge and understanding of medical, non-medical and financial underwriting principles and practices
    Expert knowledge of reinsurance market place, treaties, agreements and available capacity

    Exceptional priority management with ability to work effectively under deadlines, balance published service times with an appropriate customer focus and balance between production responsibilities and the management of the team.

    Strong organizational, analytical and problem solving skills
    Expert knowledge of mainframe and PC environment
    Strong written and verbal communication skills
    Knowledge of and ability to apply project management skills
    Expert knowledge of insurance contract law and state legislative requirements as they relate to the underwriting and issue of life insurance contracts
    Ability to create, maintain, and manage the ongoing relationships between the team and its customers, ensuring all team members are familiar with the customers and the way they conduct business
    Ability to influence and negotiate in positive ways with strong people skills

    What can we offer you?

    A growth trajectory that extends upward and outward, encouraging you to follow your passions and learn new skills.
    A focus on growing your career path with us.
    Flexible work policies and strong work-life balance.
