Manage a profitable book of business through disciplined underwriting, portfolio awareness, and continuous monitoring of account performance. Document underwriting rationale clearly and thoroughly in accordance with company guidelines and compliance standards. Represent the company at broker meetings, industry events, and market functions to strengthen brand presence and expand distribution relationships.

Demonstrated success in a production‑driven underwriting role with consistent profitable growth. Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate multifaceted exposures and apply sound judgment. Proven ability to maintain high underwriting quality and low loss ratio. Established relationships with wholesale brokers and E&S distribution partners. Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills. Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment. Benefits U.S. A+ rated, financially strong carrier with a long‑standing presence in the E&S marketplace. Entrepreneurial underwriting culture that empowers decision‑making. Competitive compensation, performance incentives, and comprehensive benefits. Opportunity to work with a highly experienced leadership team and a strong broker network.
