• Experience contributing to underwriting guidelines, product strategy, and rate development.
• Established relationships within the wholesale broker marketplace.
• Ability to balance product development, technical underwriting, marketing, and business development.

• Personally underwrite new and renewal business during the product’s early growth stage.
• Develop relationships with wholesale brokers and establish reliable production sources across the United States.
• Market the product to brokers, reinsurers, and other external business partners.
• Manage premium growth, portfolio quality, loss ratio, and underwriting profitability.
