About the Role

The Director of Underwriting will lead Sidecar Health's group underwriting function while also serving as a hands-on contributor. Reporting to the VP of Actuarial & Underwriting, this role is both a player-coach and a growth partner — directly underwriting complex, high-value cases while managing, mentoring, and developing a team of underwriters. They will partner closely with Sales and Client Success to support new business opportunities, renewals, and finalist presentations, playing a critical role in driving profitable growth and strengthening Sidecar Health's presence in the market.

  • Must reside in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah, or Washington for consideration

What You'll Do

  • Serve as both a leader and contributor, personally underwriting large and complex group cases while managing the day-to-day operations of the underwriting team
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of group underwriters, fostering consistency, accuracy, and professional growth
  • Establish and maintain underwriting guidelines, policies, and processes that balance competitiveness, risk, and profitability
  • Partner with Sales to support new business growth, participating in finalist meetings and broker / consultant discussions as needed
  • Provide creative underwriting solutions that help win new accounts while protecting financial performance
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Actuarial, Product, Finance, and Client Success to inform pricing strategies, renewals, and long-term client value
  • Review and approve escalated underwriting decisions, applying expert judgment to ensure alignment with strategy
  • Monitor underwriting performance and portfolio results, identifying trends and implementing corrective actions when necessary
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with brokers, consultants, and reinsurers to enhance growth opportunities and support reinsurance strategies
  • Promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement within the underwriting function
  • What You'll Bring

  • 8+ years of experience in group underwriting within health insurance or healthcare-related financial services, with progressive responsibility in leadership and decision-making
  • Proven ability as a "player-coach" — comfortable leading a team while directly underwriting complex, high-profile cases
  • Demonstrated success partnering with Sales to win new business and support strategic client relationships
  • Deep knowledge of group underwriting methodologies, funding arrangements (fully insured, self-funded / ASO), stop-loss, and healthcare cost drivers
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to balance growth opportunities against risk considerations
  • Executive presence with excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
  • Familiarity with reinsurance markets and strategies preferred
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where adaptability is key
  • Bachelor's degree
  • What You'll Get

  • Competitive salary, bonus opportunity, and equity package
  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits
  • A 401k retirement plan
  • Paid vacation and company holidays
  • Opportunity to make an impact at a rapidly growing mission-driven company transforming healthcare in the U.S.
  • Sidecar Health is an Equal Opportunity employer committed to building a diverse team. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status.
