From: Captive International
From industry education to essay contests to committees, the Captive Insurance Companies Association is working tirelessly on promoting, nurturing and developing careers in the captive insurance industry. Dan Towle of the association reports.
It’s a great time to explore careers in captive insurance. The industry is experiencing unprecedented growth during a long hard-market cycle combined with opportunities stemming from the pandemic.
This should not be a surprise. The captive insurance industry has regularly seen growth during difficult times because captives have always been looked to for creative solutions and to fill coverage gaps not available in the commercial market.
A career in captive insurance is something you can build on for many years.”

This dynamic captive insurance market offers young professionals opportunities that are both challenging and rewarding.
Additionally, captive insurance is a global industry, and many people in the industry travel domestically and internationally for work meetings, conferences and more. A job in captive insurance ticks all the boxes for a fascinating and gratifying career.
“Whether it’s coming up through the underwriting ranks, or working in finance, risk management or marketing, there are so many different opportunities in the captive industry and the best part is, they’re high-paying jobs. A career in captive insurance is something you can build on for many years,” says Tim Padovese, president and chief executive officer, Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company.
