Job description

We're partnering with a Chief Underwriting Officer on behalf of a financially strong, growth-oriented property & casualty insurance carrier in the search for a Regional Underwriting Manager.

What stands out isn't just the opportunity itself—it's the leadership. The hiring manager has built a reputation as a servant leader who genuinely invests in the success of the team. This isn't an environment where leaders are simply expected to hit numbers and manage performance. It's one where leadership is accessible, collaborative, and committed to helping talented underwriters grow professionally.

The role offers the opportunity to:

• Lead an established commercial underwriting team
• Influence underwriting strategy
• Help drive profitable growth across a multi-state territory
• Have a meaningful seat at the table while remaining close enough to the business to make a tangible impact

Ideal candidates will bring:

• A strong understanding of independent agency distribution

Just as important, the organization is looking for someone who values relationships, mentorship, and building high-performing teams.
