Job Description – Underwriter / Sr. Underwriter / Underwriting Consultant – Life (016307)

Telecommuting may be available based on candidate need.

This is the 1st life UW job posting I’ve seen in weeks. BTW, it is not a new opening but a re-posting.  When I inquired about the position last year, telecommuting was not an option.  Now telecommuting may be an option.

Alcohol-attributable mortality varies by year; in several recent years, alcohol was a cause of more than half of all Russian deaths at ages 15—54 years. Alcohol accounts for most of the large fluctuations in Russian mortality, and alcohol and tobacco account for the large difference in adult mortality between Russia and western Europe.
