Introduction

At RPS, we don’t just embrace bold ideas, we make them happen. We’re a team of entrepreneurs, big-picture thinkers, and passionate experts who thrive on possibility. Every day, we collaborate across teams, challenge convention, and push boundaries to design innovative solutions for our clients. With access to top-rated carriers and a dynamic marketplace, we bring strategy and creativity together to deliver what others might call impossible. Here, every voice counts, every perspective matters, and every challenge is an opportunity to grow. You’ll be supported by a culture that celebrates ownership, curiosity, and high performance, where you’re trusted to do your best work and encouraged to keep learning along the way.

How You'll Make An Impact

Position Summary : Your Role : Underwriter / Broker - Wholesale Insurance. This is a hybrid role where you’ll spend approximately 75% of your time marketing and selling, and 25% underwriting.

  • Pre-qualify submissions and focus on high-probability sales opportunities while following Carrier guidelines.
  • Analyze submissions from Retail Agents and determine the best available Carrier, coverage, forms, and premium.
  • Gather information on client risks and identify additional areas of exposure RPS could quote.
  • Stay ahead of industry and market trends that impact underwriting guidelines, pricing, and premiums.
  • Educate partners on RPS’s full range of risk solutions as their business needs evolve.
  • Lead, train, and oversee support team when assigned.
  • Travel as needed to engage with clients and carriers.

Competencies

  • Proven business development and relationship management skills.
  • Strong analytical ability, attention to detail, and excellent communication.
  • A proactive, goal-driven mindset with urgency to achieve production targets.
  • Ability to leverage data and tools to craft comprehensive insurance solutions.
  • Sets a high standard for responsiveness and commitment to meet the needs of Retailers and their clients.
  • Conveys insurance and risk management expertise in ways that build trust and credibility.
  • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree and 3+ years of related experience.
  • Home state P&C license (or willingness to obtain within 90 days).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office.
  • Sales experience in wholesale insurance or related field preferred.
