  • Experience working with admitted and non-admitted paper
  • Ability to work as a team player or independently in a fast-paced work environment
  • Ability to underwrite new business and renewal policies for Casualty
  • Deep wholesale broker trading relationships
  • Understanding of pricing and risk selection criteria to achieve profitable loss ratios
  • Advanced understanding of data analysis and execution of portfolio management objectives
  • Innovative problem solving and solutioning skills
  • Responsive, customer service focused mindset and behaviours
  • Intellectual curiosity and comfort in dealing with the concept of a blank sheet of paper
  • Ability to make timely decisions with appropriate information and consultation
  • A strong entrepreneurial drive and desire to build and win together as a high performing team
  • Ability to travel independently to meet with assigned brokers or with the broader team to participate in industry conference or events

About Ledgebrook

Ledgebrook is a tech-enabled E&S MGA dedicated to the wholesale distribution channel. Our mission is to provide our wholesale brokers with the fastest, easiest quoting experience while delivering best-in-class pricing and risk selection. Ledgebrook’s guiding principle is to eliminate friction for both our wholesalers and our underwriters.

Our next-gen tech stack supports faster, risk differentiated solutions to be crafted and delivered in response to the fast-paced needs of the E&S market. Our data driven approach seeks to unlock more opportunities and value from every submission received, leading to a faster ‘yes’ more frequently, but may also lead to a quick ‘no’.

We are motivated and structured to move faster than traditional insurance organizations. To fully align business objectives with a long-term view that supports our culture and values, all employees will have the opportunity to participate in company ownership through equity grants. We aim to deliver a highly compelling overall employee value proposition and a total compensation package that couples equity grants with base pay and benefits offerings.

Compensation

  • Base Salary Range $75,000-$150,000- This is a good-faith compensation range based on what Ledgebrook reasonably expects to pay for this position at the time of this posting. Actual compensation may vary based on a variety of relevant factors including experience, qualifications, geographic location and other relevant factors.
  • Employees in this position are eligible to participate in Ledgebrook’s equity incentive program.
