Job description

Does it ever feel like you’re working with one hand tied behind your back? Tired of the struggles and inefficiencies associated with legacy systems and processes? Spending too much of your time and energy completing mundane tasks? Restricting any efforts to deepen your knowledge base, and deliver high-quality underwriting support and service excellence?

At Ledgebrook, we believe a progressively expanding career in underwriting can be so much more. You bring passion and entrepreneurial spirit; we’ll provide the platform and opportunity to unleash the very best of your talents and skills. Apply now to advance your underwriting knowledge and career at Ledgebrook.

About the Role

Ledgebrook is seeking experienced E&S Underwriting Assistant talent to join our growing team, whose mission is to build a profitable book of E&S business across expanding lines of business and coverages. Ledgebrook’s vision is to deliver market-relevant solutions to our key wholesale trading partners in a more frictionless environment that emphasizes efficiencies and quality to meet or exceed our broker’s overall needs in a risk-differentiated manner. If you possess an entrepreneurial passion with a proven track record of delivering high-quality underwriting support and seek an opportunity to break out of the traditional insurance company mold, we’re looking for you!

As a member of the Ledgebrook Underwriting Support team, you will regularly interact with Ledgebrook’s underwriters and wholesale trading partners via phone, virtual meetings, or in-person to facilitate various transactions independently or with limited guidance. We are looking for candidates with a strong overall E&S support background across various lines of business, including a curiosity to gain a deeper knowledge of our business.

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

Here at Ledgebrook, we are passionate about creating a team that is on a continuous learning journey and shares our excitement about building a company from the ground up. Some characteristics we value include:

• A passion for delivering a world-class customer service experience to both internal and external customers.
• Intellectual curiosity and a desire to innovate processes and procedures rather than being satisfied with the status quo.
• A desire to continue learning through on-the-job mentorship or formal educational and training opportunities.
• Agile prioritization skills coupled with a keen sense of urgency that balances correctness with timeliness.
• A strong drive and desire to succeed together as a high-performing team.
• A moral compass to “do the right thing, period,” with zero tolerance for toxic behaviors.

Your experience and qualifications should include:

• Prior general/technical E&S underwriting support experience across various lines of business and coverages.
• Experience in submission process management, including review for completeness to facilitate account clearance and setup.
• Understanding of basic underwriting data analysis to execute submission triage activities, such as reviewing submission information in relation to underwriting appetite and guidelines to assist in eligibility determination and opportunity prioritization.
• Ability to obtain required information from brokers, organize and maintain file documentation, and facilitate transactions with other underwriting support resources.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and projects, focusing on key priorities and deadlines.
• Understanding of company appetites and delegated underwriting authorities.
