Strategic Reserve
  • Act as strategic reserve and underwrite new business quotes, renewals and sold case submissions as requested during periods of high demand or limited capacity on other teams.

Other
  • Lead and/or actively participate in various functional or cross-functional initiatives within GRP or with other areas within Group Benefits.

  • Excellent communication, interpersonal and presentation skills, including ability to communicate to audiences with varying levels of expertise and job level.
  • Proven analytical abilities with keen attention to detail balanced with the ability to see and make sense of the big picture, make recommendations and propose solutions.
