Personal Lines Associate Underwriter Jobs in Decatur, GA

In this role, you'll help service and manage personal lines accounts while balancing underwriting judgement with day-to-day client support. You'll review insurance applications for property and casualty cover, assess the risk using details such as property value, location, usage, and safety features, and decide whether to accept, amend, or decline the risk within set underwriting guidelines.

You'll also work closely with colleagues in the field to gather the information you need to support clear, well-reasoned underwriting decisions. This is a role where service, accuracy, and sound judgement come together, with both production and service goals to work towards.

You'll manage assigned accounts from both a service and underwriting point of view, making sure each one is handled with care and in line with agreed guidelines. Day to day, you'll review applications, weigh up risk information, and help shape policy decisions that are fair, consistent, and well supported.

You'll also stay close to the field teams, asking the right questions and building the information needed to defend underwriting decisions. Alongside that, you'll keep an eye on your production and service goals, helping to make sure accounts are moved forward efficiently while giving clients and colleagues the support they need.

Here's what you'll bring to the role:

• You'll be able to review personal lines insurance applications and make underwriting decisions using set guidelines.
• You'll be comfortable assessing risk using information such as property value, location, usage, safety features, and other relevant details.

• You'll work in a way that is organised, accurate, and focused on follow-through.
• You'll be comfortable balancing day-to-day servicing with underwriting work.
