Hear What Our Team Members Say About Working at OCI
Different areas within OCI that may be hiring:
Insurance Financial Examiners
The Division of Financial Regulation is responsible for overseeing the financial condition of insurance companies, including HMOs, which come under Wisconsin's jurisdiction. The division employs individuals with accounting, auditing, and finance backgrounds as insurance financial examiners. We provide on-the-job training and encourage examiners to receive formal career and job-related training. (The examiner position qualifies as work experience for the CPA certificate.) Examiners perform on-site audits of Wisconsin insurance company financial statements and operations. Examiners interact with a variety of insurance company management and staff, including professionals in the accounting, actuarial, investment, legal, information technology, underwriting, and claims fields. Examiners also review financial statements, audit reports, and other company documents, working part of the year in-office as financial analysts. Examiners travel throughout Wisconsin and occasionally out-of-state (the positions require about 30% travel), but they are headquartered in Madison.
