  • Partner with risk engineers to identify loss drivers and actionable loss-control recommendations (security, temporary protections, hot-work controls, commissioning protocols) and incorporate these into bind conditions.
  • Use data, analytics and field intelligence to set premiums, monitor portfolio profitability, and identify cross-sell and diversification opportunities
  • Maintain clear, responsive relationships with brokers and agents; present proposals, obtain approvals and close business
