Areas of opportunity: Underwriting

 Underwriting

At Aetna, underwriters are at the "hub" of our business. They partner with multiple areas within the company, including marketing and operations staff, to provide valuable, ongoing financial case management to our corporate customers. We rely on our underwriters' expertise to determine accurate and acceptable rates and fees for clients ranging from small group customers to large, national account customers.

As an Aetna underwriter, you will assess financial risk on a case-level basis for both new and renewal business. Working with our field staff and customers, you'll negotiate and implement rates and fees designed to achieve our profitability goals, retain and build membership and meet our customers' needs. In addition, you'll deliver high-quality products, such as financial accounting packages, financial responses to requests for proposals, claims projections, funding evaluations and group health plan and renewal packages.

What's Required
A variety of underwriting opportunities exist, each with a specific and often unique set of requirements. In general, most of our underwriting positions require a B.S./B.A degree or equivalent work experience in business administration, mathematics, economics, finance or a related field. Strong communication, critical thinking, analytical and decision-making skills are also required. In addition, familiarity with managed care products and services is preferred.
