The Middle Market Executive Technology Underwriter for Private Equity is responsible for developing, growing and maintaining a profitable book of technology Property & Casualty business focused on private equity-sponsored and PE-backed technology companies inclusive of portfolio programs. This includes marketing, underwriting decision making, building mutually beneficial agent / broker and sponsor relationships, establishing a market-facing leadership presence in the PE community, and applying underwriting tools, systems, and expert resources. The role also guides and mentors less experienced underwriters in PE-specific underwriting, including regular employee coaching with feedback to the manager on progress.

Responsibilities : Risk Selection :

  • Review, rate, underwrite and evaluate PE-sponsored technology accounts by qualifying sponsor and portfolio company risk profiles, understanding deal structure (buyouts, add-ons, recapitalizations), leverage and transaction timing.
  • Assess sponsor track record, portfolio management practices, common risk concentrations, post-acquisition integration risk and exit strategies when determining insurability, premium, terms and conditions.
  • Obtain necessary approvals and create / present tailored proposals that reflect PE deal dynamics (e.g., representations around transaction timing, coverage for management transitions, carve-outs for jumbo M&A exposures). Negotiate and structure deals with an awareness of sponsor priorities and industry M&A cycles to secure profitable, long-term placements.

Agent / Broker / Sponsor Relationships :

  • Demonstrate high responsiveness to Agents, Brokers and Private Equity deal teams; build trusted relationships with sponsor investment and portfolio management teams as well as placement brokers. Support agent / broker objectives by providing PE-relevant underwriting guidance, participating in deal calls and diligence processes, performing site visits of portfolio companies and attending board or sponsor meetings as appropriate.
  • Develop a strong personal brand in the PE ecosystem to build and maintain a long-term, quality pipeline of PE-sponsored opportunities and cross-selling channels.
  • Portfolio Management (PE Portfolio Stewardship) :

  • Manage a sizable and complex book of PE-backed technology business by analyzing portfolio composition by sponsor, sector, geographic and coverage concentration.
  • Identify opportunities to improve growth, profit and diversification across sponsor relationships and execute targeted marketing plans to increase market share within the PE channel.
  • Monitor transaction activity (acquisitions, dispositions, management turnover) within portfolio companies and adjust underwriting strategy, pricing, and coverage terms to reflect evolving risk.
  • Documenting the Deal (PE Diligence and Auditability) :

  • Document files to reflect thorough PE-centric thought processes and decision making, including sponsor due diligence results, transaction documents reviewed, special endorsements required for deal timing, and any contingent exposures.
  • Ensure comprehensive account reviews, sign-offs and referrals comply with state regulations, letters of authority and underwriting guidelines while preserving a clear audit trail for sponsor and broker inquiries.
  • Leadership and Knowledge Transfer :

  • Formally guide, mentor and coach underwriters and account analysts in PE-specific technical and professional skills (e.g., evaluating sponsor track records, reading transaction documents, assessing covenant / leverage risk).
  • Serve as an internal resource on PE deal dynamics and regularly update colleagues on PE market trends, major sponsor activity and lessons learned from claims or loss events involving PE-backed companies.
  • Continuous Improvement :

  • Actively participate in continuous improvement by generating suggestions and participating in problem solving related to underwriting tools, submission workflows and PE deal intake processes.
  • Help refine underwriting guidelines, appetite statements and submission templates to better support efficient evaluation and placement of PE-sponsored technology accounts.
  • Qualifications :

  • Degree in Business or equivalent typically required
  • A minimum of 7 years expected, typically 10 years or more, of progressive underwriting experience and / or other related business experience
  • CPCU or professional insurance designation preferred
  • Proven analytical ability to evaluate and judge underwriting risks within scope of responsibility
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex analyses and information in understandable written and / or oral directives to other persons in the organization for underwriting or training purposes
  • Demonstrated effective communication and interpersonal skills in dealing with internal and external stakeholders
  • Must demonstrate comprehension of most complex technical underwriting issues and be capable of defining and implementing necessary underwriting and administrative processes / workflows to properly manage or administer those issues
  • Proven track record of developing and underwriting profitable business
