Job description

Company Details

Berkley North Pacific is a regional insurance company that offers niche products and specialized coverages through local independent agency partners. We differentiate ourselves in the marketplace with our customer-obsessed approach that exceeds timeliness and responsiveness expectations. Partnering with a select group of Independent Agents in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, we pride ourselves on the ease of doing business. With local leadership, conversational underwriting, and responsive claims services, we truly are relationship driven.

Our mission is to provide financial protection to our customers by offering premier insurance solutions, products, and services through our select independent agents. BNP is a proud member of W. R. Berkley Corporation , a Fortune 500 company. While we are regionally focused, we have the security and financial backing of one of the largest commercial lines' writers in the United States.

This position would ideally be based in our Meridian, Idaho office which offers a hybrid work schedule with 4 days in the office; and 1 day remote where it makes sense to do so. We'd be open to a fully remote candidate but they must be located within the BNP territory (states : OR, WA, ID, UT or MT).

The company is an equal opportunity employer. #LI-LD1 #LI-Hybrid
