Job description

Global Insurer is currently hiring a Senior Excess & Surplus E&S Casualty Underwriter in their Chicago offices. This role is a growth role for an organization that has grown out of their foundation of Professional and Financial Lines group and will be responsible for building and growing relationships within the wholesale brokerage community throughout the Midwest.

If you are looking for an opportunity to truly prove yourself and earn what you build, this is definitely the environment for you! We are looking for a "thought leader" and someone who wants to "lead" rather than follow with a trusted brand in the industry. If you have the right attitude and the experience to not just underwrite, but also look at guidelines, understand market trends and help an organization navigate the ever‑changing E&S market, we'd love to hear from you!
