Chattanooga-based insurer Unum is adding about 100 jobs in the city, and more than 200 companywide, as the business offers new products.
“We’ve got growth and expansion in the operation,” said Kimberly Bowen, senior vice president of global talent and inclusion for the disability and volunteer benefits insurer, in a telephone interview Friday.
She said the new jobs the company plans to fill range from entry-level posts to slots for people who’ve been in the workforce for a few years, as well as for seasoned professionals.
Quite a few of the positions are in the finance and information technology space, Bowen said.
Historically, the company has had challenges to woo employees in those sectors, and Unum is building out partnerships with the schools to find workers, Bowen said.
