  • Underwrite and manage a portfolio of new and renewal accounts at greater scale and complexity, generally spanning larger revenue bands and more technically demanding risks, while maintaining alignment to underwriting guidelines, risk appetite, and carrier requirements.
  • Own senior and specialty broker relationships and play a visible role in client-facing activity for larger and more complex accounts.
  • Maintain disciplined underwriting files, documentation, and internal tool usage in line with Coalition's workflows and governance standards.
  • Lead more granular discussions on coverage, manuscript endorsement requests, alternate forms, and other non-standard structures typical of larger-market underwriting.
  • Bring deeper technical underwriting judgment to more complex organizations, including risks involving larger networks, subsidiaries, and differentiated operating-company exposures.
  • Mentor and coach other underwriters, including support on files, broker communication, and deal strategy.
  • Partner with Sales, Product, Claims, CPU, and Coalition's security team to improve underwriting decisions, market execution, and client outcomes.
  • Help shape local or regional underwriting practices, escalation standards, and process improvements for more sophisticated business.
  • Regular travel required for broker management, client meetings, education, and market-facing activity.
Skills and Qualifications
  • 5+ years of underwriting experience, including at least several years handling high-complexity cyber and Technology E&O risks.
  • Ability to analyze complex cyber and technology risks and understand their implications for underwriting, pricing, structure, and profitability.
  • Ability to combine underwriting expertise with broker and client needs to craft solutions and explain rationale clearly and confidently.
  • Strong presentation presence, negotiation skills, and comfort handling executive-facing broker and client conversations.
  • Meaningful experience mentoring others and contributing to underwriting standards, governance, or training.
