A PURPOSE-DRIVEN COMPANY

At Skyward Specialty, we don’t just offer jobs – we offer careers filled with purpose, passion and continuous growth. Our mission is to redefine what is possible in the insurance industry by embracing innovation, fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and maintaining a steadfast commitment to excellence. What sets Skyward Specialty apart is our dedication to creating an environment where employees feel empowered, valued and inspired to make a difference every day. Here, you’ll find a company that genuinely cares about your personal and professional development, encourages creativity and celebrates unique perspectives.

WINNING TOGETHER

We know success is a team effort at Skyward Specialty. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, and we foster an environment where teamwork is not just encouraged but celebrated. Here’s just a few examples of how we make collaboration a cornerstone of our culture:

Our leaders prioritize open and honest communication, keeping everyone informed and aligned with the Company’s goals.

We use OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) as our goal-setting framework to ensure alignment across the Company, which allows employees to better understand how their work impacts the organization as a whole. In fact, in our recent engagement survey, 95% of employees agreed with the statement “I know how my role impacts the organization,” indicating the efficacy of our OKR process. 

We bring together team members from different departments to work on new projects, ensuring a wide range of ideas and perspectives.

Our systems and tools are designed to help you work faster and more efficiently. We invest heavily to enhance processes, file sharing, project management, data analysis and more!

Even in a predominantly remote environment, we prioritize employee connection and engagement. From social events to offsite team summits, we provide opportunities for employees to come together, connect and collaborate.

EMBRACING EVERY PERSPECTIVE

Skyward Specialty is committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We believe that a variety of perspectives leads to better ideas, greater innovation and a more vibrant workplace.

Our dedication to creating an environment where employees can come as their authentic selves and thrive is evident in everything we do, from our hiring practices to our everyday interactions. We actively seek and celebrate diversity of background, experience and perspectives, ensuring every employee has a voice and feels valued.

At Skyward Specialty we have four employee resource groups (ERGs) that provide space for connection, mentorship and advocacy for its members and for the Company at large. These groups play an important role in fostering a culture of belonging and driving our commitment to inclusion forward.
