Job description

You're an experienced excess casualty underwriter. You know what good business looks like, how to price it, and when to say no.

But how much of your time do you actually get to spend underwriting?

This is an opportunity to join a growing, employee-owned wholesale broker and MGA with an exclusive excess auto liability product, significant submission flow and a busy team looking for another strong underwriter.

The business is there. The opportunity is there. They need the underwriting expertise to make the most of it.

Having successfully placed the Head of Transportation, we're now looking to add another experienced underwriter to support the practice's continued growth and success.

The opportunity

• Underwrite excess auto liability business through an exclusive product offering that provides access to $10m in capacity.
• Work with a strong flow of inbound submissions. This isn't a role where you'll spend your days chasing brokers for business.
• Join a successful, expanding transportation practice that has generated significant revenue over the past 12 months.
• Get exposure to a busy, growing desk, with plenty to get involved in and the opportunity to make a genuine impact.
• Help support ambitious growth plans, with a 45% growth target, while maintaining strong underwriting discipline.
• Join an employee-owned business where you can contribute to its continued growth and success.

Who they're looking for

Someone with a strong technical background in excess casualty underwriting, ideally with specific experience in excess auto liability.

You might currently be working for a specialist excess casualty carrier or MGA. You'll have the underwriting judgement, market knowledge and confidence to assess submissions, price risks appropriately and make sound decisions.

You'll be comfortable managing a busy workload, working with brokers and balancing commercial opportunities with underwriting discipline.

Location and package

The position is open to remote candidates across the US, with a competitive package anticipated at $200k+ depending on experience.

If you're an excellent excess casualty underwriter who wants plenty of quality business to work on, access to an exclusive product and the chance to make a difference in a growing operation, it's worth a conversation.
