What You’ll Bring to the Role

  • Approximately 5+ years of market experience in underwriting or previous experience as an broker in a Account Executive / Account Director role.

  • In-depth expert understanding of a LoB’s products, portfolio, and regional/local insurance markets and competitor landscape.
