Job description

Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced underwriting account executive who thrives in a dynamic environment and brings a blend of technical underwriting expertise and strong relationship-building skills. This role goes beyond traditional underwriting-it's about managing a portfolio strategically, driving profitable growth, and influencing outcomes through negotiation and collaboration.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and execute business plans with agency partners to improve book performance, focusing on profitability, retention, and new business growth.
  • Underwrite new and renewal submissions, assessing risk, determining acceptability, and setting pricing and terms aligned with company guidelines.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to agents and internal teams, leveraging market insights to strengthen relationships and identify opportunities.
  • Manage a desk proactively-monitor deal flow, negotiate terms, and ensure balanced risk ratios across multiple coverages.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends and regulatory changes to adapt strategies and maintain competitive positioning.
  • Utilize technology and data-driven tools to streamline underwriting processes and enhance decision-making.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of progressive underwriting experience, ideally in commercial P&C or niche markets (crop or specialty lines preferred).
  • Strong negotiation and relationship management skills with a sales-oriented mindset.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and make data-informed decisions.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Comfortable with travel (approx. 20%) for agency visits and team collaboration.
  • Preferred Attributes

  • Strategic thinker who can balance underwriting discipline with business development.
  • Skilled communicator with the ability to influence and build trust.
  • Resourceful and proactive in managing complex portfolios and driving results.
  • Create a job alert for this search
