We’re looking for an experienced Inland Marine & Property Underwriter to step into a visible, impact-driven AVP role. This is not a maintenance-only seat.

Responsibilities:

Evaluate risks, pricing, and coverage structures using experience and judgment, knowing when to lean in and when to walk away
Analyze submissions, loss history, exposure changes, and external data to make informed, disciplined underwriting decisions
Set pricing that reflects the risk, using advanced loss analysis and sound judgment aligned with company strategy
Structure deals creatively when needed, using coverage features, deductibles, or reinsurance to meet both client and company goals
Interpret policies and contracts clearly, providing guidance to brokers and internal partners, including claims when questions arise
Meet in person with distribution partners a minimum of 5 times per month. These visits keep us close to market activity, sharpen our read on emerging trends, and ensure our partners understand where we're focused and why.
