• Generate and process policy documents with accuracy and attention to detail
• Book new and renewal business in our insurance management system, ensuring accuracy of policy data, premiums, and coverage terms at entry
• Support accounting functions, including premium and commission calculations as needed
• Maintain organized records and assist with bordereaux and reporting as needed
• Contribute to special projects and process improvements as the team and book evolve
• Provide clients with a service that supports the positive image of the company

Benefits

• Comprehensive health care coverage
