About You
You are an intellectually curious and driven insurance professional who brings both analytical precision and strong interpersonal skills to everything you do. You are comfortable navigating complexity, managing competing priorities, and making sound underwriting decisions under pressure. You build trust naturally — with brokers, colleagues, and partners alike — and you are motivated by the opportunity to grow both a portfolio and your own career in a supportive, expert-led environment.
We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements:
- 3–5 years of insurance underwriting experience, with demonstrated ability to evaluate and price complex risks
- Strong analytical and decision-making skills, with the ability to assess risk characteristics and apply sound underwriting judgment
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate underwriting positions to brokers and internal stakeholders
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
These are additional nice to haves:
- Experience in professional liability underwriting, particularly Lawyers Professional Liability
- CPCU, RPLU, ARM, or other insurance designations, or active progress toward completion
- Direct broker and agent relationship management experience
- Familiarity with portfolio management tools and underwriting analytics
- Knowledge of emerging risks and coverage trends within the legal professional liability space
The estimated base salary range for this position is $120,000 to $192,000. The specific salary offered for this, or any given role will take into account a number of factors including but not limited to job location, scope of role, qualifications, complexity/specialization/scarcity of talent, experience, education, and employer budget. At Swiss Re, we take a "total compensation approach" when making compensation decisions. This means that we consider all components of compensation in their totality (such as base pay, short-and long-term incentives, and benefits offered), in setting individual compensation.
***Our company has a hybrid work model where the expectation is that you will be in the office at least three days per week.
