IAT Insurance Group has an immediate opening for Senior Inland Marine & Property Underwriter from our Plano or Spring, Texas locations.

In this position you will manage an existing portfolio while actively building new business, helping grow our footprint in regions that are key focus areas for us. You’ll work closely with brokers who value strong partnership and clear, confident decision-making. Expect to be in the market shaping deals, strengthening relationships, and writing business that performs.

This isn't a behind-the-scenes role. It's visible, collaborative, and growth focused. This position follows a hybrid schedule: in the office Monday through Wednesday, with the option to work remotely on Thursday and Friday.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and grow a profitable book of inland marine and property business across the Region
• Build strong, lasting relationships with agency partners to drive consistent and high-quality new business
• Evaluate submissions, pricing, and coverage structures using sound judgment making clear, confident decisions
• Analyze loss runs, exposure changes, and underwriting data to fully understand the risk behind every account
• Set pricing that reflects exposure and performance, using loss analysis and experience to guide decisions
• Structure accounts thoughtfully, using deductibles, coverage adjustments, or other tools to get deals across the line the right way
• Review policy language and contracts to ensure coverage intent is clear-for both brokers and internal teams
• Partner with claims and internal stakeholders to clarify coverage when questions arise
• Perform other duties as needed

Qualifications:

Must-Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Risk Management, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience
• 4+ years of inland marine and/or property underwriting experience
• Solid understanding of the insurance marketplace, including pricing and competitive positioning
• Proven ability to build and maintain broker relationships that drive new and renewal business
• Experience managing a book of business while contributing to growth
• Strong skills in pricing, risk selection, and deal structuring
• Working knowledge of industry trends, products, and the broader competitive landscape
• To qualify, applicants must be authorized to work in the United States and must not require VISA sponsorship, now or in the future, for employment purposes.

Preferred to Have:

• Industry designations CPCU, ARM, or AU
• INS21, 22 and 23
• Exposure to loss control or risk engineering-you think beyond the submission and into the actual risk
