About the Role

We are seeking experienced Cyber, Tech and MPL underwriting talent to join our growing team whose mission is focused on building a profitable book of specialty lines business.

As a member of the Specialty Lines team, you will regularly interact with our wholesale trading partners over the phone, virtually and in-person to drive submission flow and convert on the best opportunities quoted. We are looking for disciplined underwriting candidates that possess a strong overall cyber liability background with experience underwriting risks of all industries and sizes.

  • A strong drive and desire to win together as a high-performing team
  • A moral compass to "do the right thing, period." We have zero tolerance for toxic behaviors
  • An eagerness to actively participate and connect with the whole team, across remote locations
  • An honest, transparent communication style
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset. We don't look for blame, we look for the solution

While the preference is for this resource to sit in the Chicago or surrounding areas, we are a fully remote company
