The Regulatory & Contractual Reporting Division (RCR) is responsible for preparing data reviews, regulatory filings and compilations in a timely and accurate manner for submission to state insurance departments and ISO affiliates.  Do you like working with data?  Does the idea of working with intelligent, team oriented individuals excite you?  Our analysts deal with data; data management and data analysis.  You will have the opportunity to utilize your skills in Excel and use complicated, yet useful tools like SQL and VBA.  We expect your communication skills are a part of the balance you bring to the table because responding to questions from customers (internal and external) and regulators on filings, circulars and other ISO products may be a part of your day to day job.  However, it’s not just about what we do.  It’s about what you do that can help us be a better company.  We will look to you to do research and provide your findings into how we can improve our processes and procedures.
