• Bring underwriting discipline to the design of the product translating years of desk experience into the guidelines, eligibility criteria, and appetite that will govern the book
• Document referral patterns and feed them back into refinements of underwriting guidelines and authority levels
• Partner with the CUO and Head of Commercial Lines to define product appetite and underwriting guidelines
• Contribute to forms strategy and helping design proprietary endorsements that address coverage gaps and differentiate the product
• Collaborate with Actuarial on the translation of underwriting judgment into rating variables and rules
• Partner with IT on PAS and rating engine configuration the underwriting questions, business rules, and referral triggers that will shape day-to-day workflows
• Work with Legal and Compliance on form filings and admitted vs. non-admitted product structure

What's In It For You:

• Bachelor's degree in finance, Business Management, Economics is preferred
• Authorized to work in the U.S. (U.S. Citizen or Green Card Holder)
• 4+ years of hands-on commercial property and casualty underwriting experience, with a track record of managing a profitable book of business
• Strong working knowledge of commercial forms CGL, BOP, Commercial Property and how endorsements modify base coverage
• Demonstrated underwriting judgment on complex or non-standard accounts the kind of judgment that comes from years of working the desk
• Strong portfolio mindset able to think beyond the individual account to what a book of business needs to perform
