Are you looking for a career that will directly impact business outcomes and earning results?

If you’re looking to add value, make an impact, and use strong analytical and math skills in a fast-paced environment, starting your career within the Risk Management & Underwriting Rotational Leadership Development Program at Cigna will allow you to do all this and more.

Underwriters evaluate the risk of insuring a potential Cigna customer and use that information to set premium rates for insurance policies. As part of our Underwriting team, you will directly impact our business on a daily basis, protecting Cigna‘s sound financial position which enables us to meet our financial commitments to our customers.

RULDP associates begin to shape their career path through their professional experiences with program support and discussions with direct managers, mentors, RULDP peers, trainers, and career development program managers.  RULDP offers structured technical training (ULTRA – Underwriting Leadership Training & Risk Assessment) and non-technical training (competency-based workshops), networking opportunities, formal mentoring, and exposure to a breadth of underwriting roles across multiple product lines.  The duration of the program is 4-5 years, offering two 24-month rotations.  In addition to rotations, you will gain insight into other roles within the Risk Management & Underwriting organization through formalized job shadows and project work.  Throughout the program you will develop the skills and competencies necessary to become a successful Underwriter.

RULDP is an extensive learning opportunity that guides your experience through the early stages of your Risk Management & Underwriting career. The program includes a mixture of instructor-led classroom training, self-study, and on-the-job experiences.

Underwriting Rotation Opportunities include, but are not limited to:

• CHC (Cigna Healthcare)

• Pharmacy

• Stop Loss

• Dental

• Behavioral Health

• Supplemental Benefits

What you’ll do:

The program will begin with approximately six to eight weeks of classroom training and three to six months of on-the-job training experience. This initial technical training curriculum is called ULTRA. ULTRA provides thorough education on Cigna products and services, insurance basics and risk dynamics, underwriting and risk selection, results oriented book of business management, negotiation skills, systems and tools, and contract language and terms. The knowledge and skills that the program provides will set you up to be a successful Underwriter at Cigna.

Career Path:

Upon completion of your technical training (ULTRA), you will be part of a team responsible for defining the appropriate premium rate level and plan design structure of cases, evaluating total case profitability, and conducting customer negotiations with Sales and Account Management on their book of business.
