Position Summary
The Senior Property Insurance Broker leads the placement of the largest and most complex property programs in the practice, serving as the primary market-facing technical authority.

• Design layered / excess towers and difference-in-conditions structures; reconcile carrier and broker (manuscript) forms to ensure concurrency and eliminate coverage gaps.
• Direct catastrophe modeling oversight and interpretation (RMS / Moody's and AIR / Verisk), translating output into limit and pricing recommendations for clients and account teams.
• Own revenue accountability for a book of large accounts and support new-business pursuits, RFP responses, and proof-of-concept placements.
• Champion the hybrid wholesale-to-direct placement strategy by cultivating direct relationships with carriers, syndicates, and Bermuda markets.
• Mentor, coach, and technically review the work of Property Brokers and Analysts - including submissions, program options, and binders - to build bench strength and consistency.
• Establish and enforce technical standards, workflow, and E&O controls (policy checking, non-concurrency review, valuation discipline).
• Partner with risk control, analytics, and claims to deliver differentiated client outcomes and support renewals with credible risk-improvement narratives.
• Represent IMA with underwriters, industry groups, and clients as a senior technical spokesperson for the Property Practice.

• Advanced command of carrier and broker policy forms and manuscript wording, including drafting and negotiating bespoke terms.
• Established, direct relationships across US, London, Bermuda, and E&S markets, plus reinsurance placement experience.
