Job description

Ledgebrook is building something different. We’ve built a platform that lets good underwriters underwrite without 29 screens, six-week endorsement approvals, or rekeying the same information into four systems. Currently looking for an experienced Renewal Casualty Underwriter with strong E&S General Liability and/or Unsupported Excess experience to help us grow a profitable renewal book.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Underwrite and manage a renewal portfolio across a mix of E&S casualty segments
• Talk to brokers like a human being, not a robot following a script
• Decide what’s worth renewing, what isn’t, and price accordingly
• Help shape a renewal book that’s profitable on purpose — not by accident
• Bring discipline, judgement, and a bit of backbone to the table

What You Actually Need

• 3+ years in casualty underwriting, ideally with real E&S renewal experience
• Experience with admitted and non‑admitted paper
• A working brain (non‑negotiable)
• Ability to make decisions without a 14‑person committee
• Enough entrepreneurial spirit to enjoy building instead of maintaining
• A bias for action, not excuses
• The ability to travel occasionally without making a big song and dance about it

What You WON’T Need

• To fight archaic systems
• To sit in unnecessary meetings
• To apologise for having standards

Why Ledgebrook?

Because if you’re a good underwriter, you’re probably fed up with the nonsense that stops you being one. We’re trying to remove all that. If you want a place that values judgement over politics, speed over ceremony, and performance over posturing — apply. If you prefer the safety of the old environment you don’t like but tolerate… maybe stay put.
