  • Read, evaluate and interpret contracts and policies to determine exposures providing guidance and clarification to others consistent with experience
  • Provide clarification and verification of coverage to the Claims Department consistent with experience
  • Market to assigned agencies to achieve acceptable new business flow
  • Assess agency activity; provide clarification to agency personnel about company's position in annual visits to assigned agencies consistent with experience
  • Perform other tasks as needed

  • Proven ability to build and maintain broker relationships that drive new and renewal business
  • Experience managing a book of business while contributing to growth
  • Strong skills in pricing, risk selection, and deal structuring
  • Working knowledge of industry trends, products, and the broader competitive landscape

Preferred to Have:
  • Industry designations CPCU, ARM, or AU
  • INS21, 22 and 23
  • Exposure to loss control or risk engineering
