Company Details

Berkley Aspire is an excess & surplus lines insurer of commercial risks unable to find a home in the standard markets. We are an operating unit of WR Berkley, a publicly traded (NYSE “WRB”) global insurer founded in 1967.

We make excess & surplus lines easy – easy for our distribution partners, easy for the businesses they represent, and easy to navigate. The lines of coverage we underwrite include general liability, property, and excess liability. Our model is different than our competitors – we do the premium billing and do not add interest / finance percentage, we offer enhanced commissions, and we handle the stamping, affidavit filings, and other behind-the-scenes paperwork.

Our company culture is entrepreneurial, employee centric, and focused on sustainable growth. Aspire teammates work either remotely or on a hybrid schedule from offices in Scottsdale, Cincinnati, and Richmond. If you are looking for a company that offers room for advancement, great benefits, and positive vibes, then Aspire may be the place for you!

Benefit Highlights

  • Aspire offers Medical, Dental and Vision coverage. Our onsite Scottsdale, AZ Wellness Center and companywide Employee Assistance Program are free to employees and are here to support your overall well-being. Our flexible work schedule with a work-from-home day means you can balance work and life like a pro.
  • Our Health Savings Accounts have automatic company contributions if you sign up, and we offer Flexible Spending Accounts, STD, LTD, life insurance policies, and more. Plus, we offer a 401(k) program, profit-sharing program, and stock purchase plan – investing in your future has never been so rewarding.
  • We've got you covered with competitive paid time off, paid sick time, and 12 weeks of paid parental leave. Plus, you get paid holidays, a floating holiday, and paid volunteer time – because giving back to the community is important to us at Aspire!
  • Come grow with us! Level up with company sponsored conferences, tuition assistance, and industry-related education and exams. We have many internal promotional growth opportunities – because we believe in growing together.
  • We believe in working hard and playing hard. We embrace team building and are enthusiastic about sponsoring fun activities inside and outside of the office.
