Overview

The Department of Financial Regulation has an exciting and challenging opportunity for an Insurance Examiner III in the Insurance Division.  We are seeking a self-motivated, organized, professional with a strong financial background, strong analytical abilities and strong time management, communication, and critical thinking skills, and a polished, dependable demeanor.


Working under minimal supervision, the examiner assists and conducts examinations and ongoing analysis of traditional insurance companies.  Utilizing a risk-focused approach on examinations, the examiner will perform testing and evaluation of insurance companies' business processes and controls, including corporate governance, strategy, financial reporting and regulatory compliance to ensure the insurance company is able to meet its obligations and compliant with laws and regulations.  Ongoing analysis is risk focused and provides continuous off-site monitoring of the insurer's financial condition by reviewing quarterly financial statements and other required filings for trends and solvency related concerns.  


The role involves performing work in planning, reviewing, organizing, and executing examination activities; reviewing complex financial statements and operational practices; preparing comprehensive reports of findings; and ensuring that insurers maintain sound financial conditions. The examiner serves as a technical resource within the division and contributes to the development and enhancement of procedures and best practices.


The position requires strong analytical skills, sound professional judgment, and a deep knowledge of insurance accounting principles, regulatory frameworks, and examination methodologies. The Insurance Examiner III plays a key role in protecting consumers and maintaining the integrity of Vermont's insurance marketplace by ensuring that regulated entities operate safely and responsibly.
