**About the role**

**New to insurance? This is your opportunity to put your career on the fast track.**

Our Specialty Lines Underwriter Development Program is a 24-month accelerated learning experience designed to give you unparalleled expertise and grow your career in an exciting industry. In this rotational program, mentors, managers, and underwriting coaches will teach you the ins and outs of our specialty insurance business through a variety of learning styles.

Specialty Lines is a major division of our business that provides insurance solutions to unique industries with complex product needs such as Directors and Officers, Errors and Omissions, Crime, Technology, Entertainment, Equipment Breakdown, and Farm insurance.

Our Underwriters understand our products inside and out. As a member of the team, you’d become a champion of risk assessment and work directly with Intact’s network of Brokers - the people who sell our products to businesses - to make sure they understand the products, know how to market them, and help them to evaluate the potential risks of taking on certain portfolios.

- Learn in inspiring ways - classroom, on-the-job and self-study - in a collaborative work environment.
- Build relationships with our Broker partners - the core of our business - and learn the value of living our values every day.
- Be involved in stimulating, challenging projects and development opportunities to help you grow your skills and expertise.
- Build your professional networks - both at Intact and industry events.
- Earn a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package from day one.

- Have less than 3 years of experience in the insurance industry (asset, but not required).

- Bilingualism (French / English) -_ Need to interact on a regular basis with colleagues across the country. _
- No Canadian work experience required however must be eligible to work in Canada.

**The next steps**:
If you meet the requirements of the role, you can expect:

- A Plum Assessment - This will create a talent profile for you so the hiring manager can assess your key strengths alongside the needs of the role.
- An Interview Phase - If selected to move forward, you’ll get to meet the hiring team and current class members, discuss the role, and - most importantly - tell us about you
