Full Job Description
What Will You Do?

As a Communications Specialist, you will generate creative content, craft compelling stories, and provide editorial expertise across a variety of internal and external communication channels. You will help strategize, write, and distribute meaningful communications for employees, clients, prospects, and industry associations. This role requires the ability to translate technical insurance and risk‑management concepts into clear, engaging messages tailored to diverse audiences.

 

Qualifications:

  • Four‑year degree in Journalism, English, Communications, or equivalent writing/advertising experience
  • Minimum of two years of experience writing and editing content for publication (preferred)
  • Strong written communication skills with excellent grammar and punctuation
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office
  • Knowledge of email marketing, SEO, and website content strategy
  • Basic understanding of printing and publication processes
  • Foundational knowledge of graphic design principles is a plus

 

Candidates selected for an in‑person interview will be asked to complete a brief live writing exercise. You will choose from three simple, familiar topics that do not require research or advance preparation. The goal is to assess writing skill, not speed. We may also ask you to provide samples of your previous writing.

 

Pay Range is $72,900-$98,700. Pay may vary depending on job-related factors and individual experience, skills, knowledge, etc. More information can be discussed with a member of the Recruiting team.
