Steadily is hiring an Assistant Underwriter to join our growing team in the Kansas City metro area. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to start or grow their career in underwriting with one of the fastest-growing insurtech companies in the country.

• Process work across internal systems including Salesforce; quickly become a subject matter expert on our platforms

• Maintain high standards of accuracy in documenting underwriting files in our policy administration system

What We’re Looking For

• Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to remain professional and diplomatic under pressure. While direct underwriting experience is not required, transferable skills in detail-oriented, problem-solving, or customer-facing roles are valuable
• Tech-savviness and ability to learn new software systems quickly and independently
• Thrives under pressure, manages a heavy workload with minimal oversight, and never says “that’s not my job”
• A hunger and excitement to grow rapidly in an earlier-stage insurtech; motivated to roll up your sleeves and hustle
