Then be in your element when you’re part of the collaborative underwriting team at Liberty Mutual.

Join our team and you’ll challenge yourself to uncover these and other answers. 

As an Underwriting Trainee, you’ll draw upon your strong analytic, communication, and negotiation skills to understand our customers and their needs, and how to profitably accept the risks that our policies cover.

  • Price business in a timely manner according to company underwriting and pricing guidelines.
  • Market products to achieve company growth and profitability targets.
  • Develop on-going relationships with internal and external customers; monitor profitability and quality of submissions; and be aware of underwriting and/or product changes.
  • Review and develop a strong knowledge of: policy coverages, broker relationships, underwriting and team guidelines, processes and procedures and business strategy/organization.
