Junior Underwriter RSP

Individually we are people, but together we are Aviva. Individually these are just words, but together they are our Values – Care, Commitment, Community, and Confidence.

The Facility Association (FA) is an insurance industry association that Aviva participates in to pool higher risk personal auto policies and then share back losses with other carriers in the industry. The Risk Sharing Pool (RSP) team in Finance is accountable for ensuring the technical underwriting eligibility of the risks ceded into the pool and the accuracy of our reporting to the Facility Association.

We are currently recruiting for a Junior Underwriter at head office, in Markham, who will be responsible for supporting the RSP to cede policies to the pool based on the Facility Association Underwriting manual. As a Jr. Underwriter, you will be working closely with our Broker Partners to verify information used for our RSP reporting in all provinces. The RSP team also works with Claims to ensure accurate claims reporting to the Facility association as well as with other departments to ensure that all systems in the RSP cycle are reconciled.
