DescriptionAbout the RoleWe are seeking an entrepreneurial, driven, and growth-minded Inland Marine Underwriter to join our team and build a profitable book of business from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity for a hard-working underwriting professional who thrives in an autonomous environment and wants to scale a book dynamically. In this role, you will have complete ownership over your territory, leveraging your technical expertise to underwrite complex risks while actively executing market-facing strategies to drive production.

- Build from Scratch: Take full ownership of originating, underwriting, and growing a brand-new Inland Marine book of business from $0 to a high-performing portfolio.
- Underwrite with Precision: Evaluate, price, and bind risks within your authority, focusing deeply on Builders Risk and Contractors Equipment, with the flexibility to intelligently underwrite up to 100% of property exposures when required.
- Cultivate Relationships: Actively market to and develop relationships with production sources; while an established book of wholesale broker connections is highly ideal, you will be expected to relentlessly hustle to establish new partnerships if needed.
- Operate Entrepreneurially: Act as the internal CEO of your book, collaborating with leadership to refine appetite, respond to market trends, and deploy our cutting-edge technology platform for maximum efficiency.
