About Stand:

Stand is the modern climate insurance company — built for the world we’re living in now, not the one we grew up in. We work directly with homeowners and brokers to protect homes against climate-intensified risks, starting with wildfire and expanding quickly.

The Role:

We're looking for a Junior Underwriter to join our growing E&S Personal Lines Underwriting team. This is a launchpad role for someone early in their career, who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a mission-driven company at the intersection of climate and insurance.

You’ll work alongside experienced underwriters and gain hands-on exposure to our underwriting processes, risk evaluation models, broker communications, and real-time quoting workflows. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performance team, learn fast, and build toward a long-term underwriting career.

• Support the underwriting team in evaluating new insurance applications

• Assist in reviewing property data, risk characteristics, and quote submissions

• Communicate with brokers to gather missing information and ensure smooth workflows

• Help document decisions, track quote volumes, and maintain operational accuracy

• Learn how to interpret climate-driven models and risk scoring tools

• Contribute to ongoing projects that improve underwriting efficiency and service

Ideal Background:

• Bachelor’s degree (any major — we care more about mindset than field of study)

• Clear interest in insurance, climate resilience, or financial services

• Enthusiasm to learn and grow

• Strong communication skills and attention to detail

• Ability to stay organized and manage multiple priorities

• Team-first mindset and high personal accountability

Why This Role:

• Learn directly from senior underwriters and climate risk specialists

• Build a strong foundation in underwriting, operations, and client communication

• Join a team that values clarity, creativity, and thoughtful execution

• Contribute meaningfully to how we scale and serve homeowners in high-risk regions

• Grow into a long-term role in underwriting, risk, or operations as Stand grows

Details:

• Full-time, based in San Francisco

• You'll report to the Chief Underwriting Officer and work closely with our broker and ops teams

• Strong-fit role for someone who wants to build a meaningful career from day one
