Vancouver, Canada Square One Insurance Services Full time

**Your role**

The insurance policies offered, and underwriting guidelines followed, by most providers were designed in the 1970s. Many of these policies and guidelines are no longer relevant. So, why are they still offered or used? At Square One, we were wondering the same thing and decided to do something about it.

We are the leading online home and auto insurance provider in Canada. And, we're the only ones in Canada that let clients choose what they want to insure so they only pay for what they need. We're committed to making it convenient and easy for clients to do business with us. So, it should be no surprise that we're obsessed with delivering the very best online and offline experiences to our clients.

As the product and underwriting manager, you work directly with the company's leadership team to manage existing products and underwriting guidelines and develop new ones. Your efforts contribute to the growth and profitability of the company's home and auto insurance portfolio. Your success in this role comes from superior analytical, communication and research skills. You use your creativity, inquisitiveness and resourcefulness to identify opportunities and overcome challenges. You are both detail-oriented and organized, handling multiple projects and tasks with ease.

One of the things you enjoy most about Square One is the supportive team environment. You know you're never set up for failure; instead, you get all the coaching, mentoring, training, and tools you need for continued success.

**Your compensation + benefits**
- Salary: $80,237 - $103,161.
- 4-weeks of vacation to start and an additional week after only 3 years.
- Flexible medical, dental, vision and extended health care coverage.
- Short and long-term disability coverage.
- Participation in the corporate profit-sharing plan.

**Your responsibilities**
- Monitoring portfolio performance and market trends.
- Developing suitable product, underwriting, and wording changes.
- Providing product, underwriting, and wording support to the Sales and Claims team.
- Managing internal resource materials, including user guides.
- Maintaining product and underwriting roadmap.
- Gathering related system requirements, and coordinating system changes.
- Reviewing marketing content, including articles and press releases, for product and underwriting accuracy.
- Conducting interviews with media on product and underwriting matters.
- Liaising with partner carriers on product changes.

**Your qualifications**

As a member of the Square One team, you have a desire to contribute to the overall success of the company. You do this by becoming an expert at what you do, directing your own work, and working with a team that has a broader purpose than just making profit. You and those who you work with would describe you as someone who:

- Possesses superior analytical, communication and research skills.
- Has a natural curiosity and enjoys learning.
- Uses creativity and resourcefulness to identify opportunities and overcome challenges.
- Pays close attention to detail and has superior organizational skills.
- Has a strong knowledge of insurance principles.
- Possesses an exceptional ability to conduct secondary research online.
- Provides and receives constructive feedback.

**Your education + experience**

Your experience and education helps ensure your success at Square One. For this role, you have:

- 3 years of property and auto insurance underwriting experience.
- 2 years of product management or underwriting development experience.
- Strong knowledge of conducting secondary research using online tools.
- A degree in business, commerce, economics, or marketing.
