Job Description

We are considering entry-level and experienced candidates for this role. You will be joining the Credit Specialties department as an Underwriter within Risk Services. Credit Specialties is a division within Atradius that offers non-cancellable and comprehensive credit insurance to corporates and banks across a multitude of sectors and regions across the world.

• Strong written and communication skills with the ability to articulately convey an argument.
