Information Technology Careers
Information technology drives business today, and that’s especially true for insurance. With an insurance IT career, your work will be vital to your company’s success.
Job Description
Insurance IT jobs range from engineering and programming work requiring degrees and technical experience to entry-level positions available to anyone ready to learn about IT. Experienced IT professionals don’t need specialized expertise in insurance either, as the core IT functions and needs are the same as in most types of companies. This makes it easy for IT professionals to transfer into the insurance field.
Large insurance companies have vast IT departments and often provide on-the-job training programs to develop the skills of new employees with and without degrees or to level up the skills of current IT professionals. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to advance and grow in the industry.
Chances are you can work a flexible schedule, with opportunities for hybrid and fully remote work. Diversity of all types, including bilingual speakers, is valuable.
