Job description

Ledgebrook is seeking experienced Casualty Underwriters, for both General Liability and Unsupported Excess lines, to join our growing team whose mission is focused on building a profitable book of casualty business. Ledgebrook’s vision is to deliver market relevant solutions to our key wholesale trading partners in a more frictionless environment that places an emphasis on efficiencies and quality to meet or exceed our broker’s overall needs in a risk differentiated manner.

As a member of the Ledgebrook Casualty team, you will regularly interact with our wholesale trading partners over the phone, virtually and in-person to drive in-appetite submission flow and convert on the best opportunities quoted. We are looking for disciplined underwriting candidates that possess a strong overall E&S casualty background with experience across multiple industry segments, i.e. manufacturing, distributors, construction, real estate, retail, mercantile, habitational and hospitality.

We are flexible with both a candidate’s experience level and physical work location. The actual position title (Underwriter, Senior UW, Executive UW, etc.) and role (Individual Contributor, Team Lead, etc.) will be dependent on a candidate’s specific experience and qualifications. We currently operate in a fully remote work environment, so we’re more focused on your experience and cultural fit than where you physically sit!

About You

As a future Ledgebrook Casualty Underwriter, your experience and qualifications must include:

• 5+ years experience as a Casualty underwriter
• Experience working with admitted and non-admitted paper
• Ability to work as a team player or independently in a fast-paced work environment
• Ability to underwrite new business and renewal policies for Casualty
• Deep wholesale broker trading relationships
• Effective communication skills to articulate the Ledgebrook appetite and value proposition to develop and advance wholesale broker relationships
• Understanding of pricing and risk selection criteria to achieve profitable loss ratios
• Advanced understanding of data analysis and execution of portfolio management objectives
• Innovative problem solving and solutioning skills
• Responsive, customer service focused mindset and behaviors
• Intellectual curiosity and comfort in dealing with the concept of a blank sheet of paper
• Ability to make timely decisions with appropriate information and consultation
• A strong entrepreneurial drive and desire to build and win together as a high performing team
• Ability to travel independently to meet with assigned brokers or with the broader Ledgebrook team to participate in industry conference or events

Please note: This position is open only to candidates who are authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. We are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.
