Commercial Lines Underwriter

Who we are

Second-generation ownership: the founder's daughter runs the agency now. We have been writing policies for the same farms and small businesses since 1980. January renewals keep everyone busy for a few weeks.

Job summary

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. The Commercial Lines Underwriter reviews and prices commercial insurance submissions from independent agents and decides what to write, and on what terms. Our headquarters is in Jerusalem, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Japan, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.
