Binding Authority Underwriter - Hybrid at RSUI Group, Inc.

Are you an experienced underwriter with a keen understanding of how to turn risks into opportunities? If so, consider joining RSUI’s Binding Authority department as an Underwriter in Atlanta, Georgia! Ideal candidates will have the perfect blend of technical underwriting expertise to maintain profitability, and the people skills needed to build and manage relationships with our customers. Underwriting is the cornerstone of our business, and we view it as a valuable, learned skill rather than a check-of-the-box process. That’s why we’re looking for someone who can put their own personal touch on their book of business and bring positivity and resourcefulness to their relationships with our general agent partners.

RSUI will consider higher-level titles, depending on a candidate’s mix of skills and qualifications.

As RSUI is a highly collaborative work environment with a specialized area of industry focus, in-person interaction, team meetings, and other activities, like marketing events and trips, etc. will require an in-person presence. Building deep and respectful relationships is a key component of RSUI’s culture, and doing so is accomplished, in part, through engaging in meaningful in-person dialogue and making personal connections. This position will work RSUI’s hybrid work schedule, which requires three days weekly in the office.

RSUI is a 2023 AJC Top Workplace! We’re proud to offer supportive leadership, continued growth opportunities, and competitive compensation, among other stellar benefits. At RSUI, we pride ourselves on having an employee-centric company culture that you can count on, not just on your first day, but year after year. For the experienced underwriter with a winning personality, we welcome you to apply your unique skills to this role.
