Underwriting Manager

Our Underwriting Managers customize solutions for our commercial clients as well as lead and develop a team of underwriters.  They work closely with our extensive broker network to develop unique solutions for all classes of risk. 

They are passionate about maintaining strong relationships with our brokers – this means emails and phone calls don't go unanswered, and in-person broker meetings are regularly penned into their calendars.  They also pay attention to the smallest of details, work closely with our Actuarial and Claims Departments, and they could probably help hostages with their elite negotiation skills. 

With employee development being at the forefront of what they do, they work hard to provide constant training and coaching to set their Underwriters up for success. Being a strategic thinker, they are also able to identify areas of opportunity within the market, while planning and initiating the underwriting strategy for the department.

In other words, they're awesome.  If you are too, consider joining us to manage our Mid-Market Health, Education, and Social Services team
