Description

Does it ever feel like you're underwriting with one hand tied behind your back? Tired of the struggles and inefficiencies associated with legacy systems and processes? Spending too much of your time and energy navigating corporate politics? All leaving your efforts to innovate and deliver underwriting excellence languishing?

About the Role

We are seeking experienced Professional Liability underwriting talent to join our growing team whose mission is focused on building a profitable book of professional liability business. Our vision is to deliver market relevant solutions to our key wholesale trading partners in a more frictionless environment that places an emphasis on efficiencies and quality to meet or exceed our broker's overall needs in a risk differentiated manner. If you possess an entrepreneurial passion that includes a proven track history of delivering underwriting excellence and are seeking an opportunity to break out of the traditional insurance company mould, we're looking for you!

As a member of the PL 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 professional liability background with experience across multiple industry lines of business including Misc, E&O, Allied Healthcare.

We are flexible with both a candidate's experience level and physical work location. The actual position title (Underwriter, Senior UW, AVP, etc.) will be dependent on a candidate's specific experience and qualifications. We currently operate in a fully remote work environment, so we're more focused on your experience and cultural fit than where you physically sit!
