About Us At Resilience, we’re creating a new category that integrates cybersecurity, cyber insurance, and cyber risk management. Founded in 2016 by experts from across the highest tiers of the US military and intelligence communities – and built by prominent leaders and innovators from the insurance, technology, and cybersecurity industries – Resilience is rewriting the rules of how cyber risk is assessed, measured, and managed. Our integrated cyber risk solutions connect risk quantification software, cybersecurity experts, and A+ rated cyber insurance, all purpose-built for middle and large organizations. We are a cybersecurity company, a Cyber and Tech E&O-focused MGA, a fintech startup, and a data science powerhouse, all purposefully built into one. Resilience is proud to be backed by leading technology investment firms, including General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intact Ventures, Founders Fund, CRV, and Shield Capital. The Hook: Why this role matters now Launch your career at the high-velocity intersection of cyber risk, insurance, and technology. As an Underwriter Assistant on our Operations team, you won’t just be filing paperwork or sitting on the sidelines. You will take complete ownership of the administrative velocity and transactional accuracy that enables our underwriting team to evaluate cyber and tech E&O applications at scale. This is a foundational, high-visibility role where you will learn from seasoned leaders across Underwriting, Claims, Marketing, Finance, and Security Operations, serving as a critical operational pillar of our growth. The Mission: What you will achieve in the first 6 months: In your first six months, you will take full accountability for processing and reviewing incoming insurance applications, ensuring every file is complete, accurate, and ready for deep underwriting. You will own the front-line communication loop, actively managing transactional relationships with brokers and clients to guarantee smooth, frictionless placement of business. Beyond basic execution, you will coordinate policy and endorsement issuance, maintain meticulous file compliance, and bridge the gap between our Underwriting team and cross-functional partners in Claims, Security Sales, Security Engagement, and Policy Administration Services (PAS) to keep the regional portfolio highly optimized. The Toolkit: Excellent analytical skills with a relentless attention to detail. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a customer-first approach to solving problems. A proven ability to multi-task, stay organized, and thrive in a fast-paced, highly dynamic environment. A genuine interest in cybersecurity, tech, and cyber risk. (This role is perfect for ambitious recent graduates and early-career professionals). Prior experience in a customer service, support, or administrative role. Familiarity with modern productivity software (such as G-Suite or Salesforce) and basic insurance operations. The Culture: How we work We move fast, operate with zero ego, and embrace a bias to action. We are guided strongly by our four core values: transparency, excellence, grit, and humility. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment where you will be expected to raise your hand, ask questions, and take real pride in the precision of your work. The Benefits: Standardized perks You will work alongside prominent leaders and innovators from the insurance, technology, and cybersecurity industries, as well as experts from the highest tiers of the US military and intelligence communities. Comprehensive perks include a flexible work schedule, flexible paid time off, paid healthcare for employees, family paid leave, a 401k/Pension, and robust professional development advancements. Compensation range $48,000 — $66,000 USD What Resilience Offers You Innovative company culture Flexible work schedules Family paid leave Paid healthcare for employees 401k/Pension Professional development & career advancements Flexible paid time off Employee referral bonus Accommodations and Accessibility Accommodations and Accessibility We want to ensure you're able to perform as well as possible in your interview. As part of that, if you have any accessibility-related needs to ensure a comfortable visit, please let us know. We'll do our best to provide reasonable accommodations to suit your working style during your interview and if you join our team. If you require a reasonable accommodation in completing this application, interviewing, completing any pre-employment testing, or otherwise participating in the employee selection process, please let your recruiter contact know. Beware of Job Scams Resilience is excited to welcome talented individuals to explore career opportunities with us.

We will never ask for payments, conduct interviews via chat rooms, or contact candidates from personal email accounts. All job applications must be submitted through our official platform at greenhouse.io , and interviews will only take place via approved Resilience accounts. If you receive suspicious outreach or have concerns, please let your recruiter contact know. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and secure recruitment process. #J-18808-Ljbffr Socket.dev
