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.
