Coalition is the world's first Active Insurance provider designed to help prevent digital risk before it strikes. Founded in 2017, Coalition combines comprehensive insurance coverage and innovative cybersecurity tools to help businesses manage and mitigate potential cyberattacks.
Opportunities to make an impact with bold thinking are real—and happening daily at Coalition.
In the Senior Security Support Analyst role, your mandate is to assist our policyholders in understanding how to use Coalition's provided security tools in order to improve their risk posture and reduce the likelihood of a cyber attack and subsequent claim. Our Security Support Center provides world-class support to Coalition's 100,000+ policyholder base.
We help policyholders navigate our security products, tailoring our messaging to the technical proficiency of the policyholder, explaining not only how to address critical security findings, but more importantly, why addressing those findings reduces the policyholder's risk and advances our shared goals of preventing a cyber attack. You will have the opportunity to work closely with our product and engineering teams to codify security best practices into our underwriting algorithms, rating models and risk management apps.
This fully remote role is senior and highly visible: you will be expected to lead team initiatives, handle complex cases and projects, and act as a subject-matter expert (SME) for peers and stakeholders across Coalition. You will also be expected to demonstrate high throughput in handling case workload alongside your team, ensuring that our policyholders get rapid and valuable security guidance.
