With 40+ years of experience in the Insurtech game, we’re not just redefining what’s achievable; we’re creating a place where amazing career moments are made possible.

 

Position Overview

We’re searching for a Business Analyst- Insurance Classification and Implementation to join our Activation Services team in a remote role. To keep us headed in the right direction, we’re looking for people who understand winning is a team sport, who value and seek to learn from our team’s diverse experiences and backgrounds, who welcome a challenge and take risks in the pursuit of creating better outcomes for our customers, and who can, at any given time, step back to laugh and have some fun.

 

What You’ll Do

• Analyze and map relationships between NAICS, ISO, SIC, NCCI, and other insurance-specific classification frameworks to support underwriting, rating, eligibility, and product logic.
• Identify common operational, exposure, and risk characteristics that tie together disparate classification standards.
• Create and maintain authoritative mapping documentation, decision rationales, and supporting artifacts for internal and external use.
• Translate real-world business descriptions into accurate industry classifications across multiple standards.
• Assess edge cases where businesses do not cleanly align to a single class code and recommend defensible classification approaches.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert when working with carriers, bureaus, vendors, and partners on classification logic and alignment.
• Persuasively communicate classification rationale, especially in scenarios involving disagreement, regulatory sensitivity, or underwriting impact.
• Facilitate working sessions to align classification approaches and gain consensus across organizations with differing incentives or interpretations.
• Advanced ability to synthesize multiple classification systems and identify shared risk, exposure, and operational attributes.
• Strong data analysis and documentation skills, including the ability to clearly articulate “why” behind classification decisions.
• Comfort working with structured data, APIs, schemas, or rule-based systems that consume classification inputs.
• Strong understanding of how classification decisions impact underwriting appetite, pricing, coverage eligibility, and regulatory compliance.
• Ability to balance theoretical classification definitions with practical insurance outcomes.

 

We’re Excited to Learn More About You

Your experience may include:

• 5+ years of experience in the insurance industry, preferably in Commercial Lines, Workers’ Compensation, or Small Business insurance.
• Hands-on experience working with NAICS, ISO, SIC, and/or NCCI class codes in underwriting, rating, analytics, or product design contexts.
• Exposure to carrier underwriting guidelines, eligibility rules, or bureau filings where classification accuracy is critical.
• Experience interpreting real-world business operations (e.g., mixed operations, ancillary services, multiple revenue streams) for insurance purposes.
• Prior experience in roles such as Business Analyst, Product Analyst, Underwriting Analyst, or Insurance Data Analyst.

You may have other skills or credentials, including:
