• Establishes underwriting guidelines, appetite, class definitions, exclusions, and risk-selection standards delegated to the program administrator.

• Sets, monitors, and enforces delegated underwriting authority limits, referral thresholds, and breach management.

• Reviews and approves product structures, policy forms, endorsements, and material wording changes prior to use.

• Monitors underwriting quality, adherence, drift, and concentration risk; conducts performance reviews and corrective-action planning.

• Approves pricing methodologies, rating changes, discounts, and surcharges within authority and monitors adherence.

Portfolio Performance & Profitability

• Owns profitability and performance management for assigned programs against targets and approved risk appetite.

• Develops performance action plans and monitors results; identifies and addresses adverse trends.

• Leads monthly and quarterly performance and stewardship reviews with the program administrator.

• Validates completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of bordereaux; supports profit-share calculation inputs.

• Monitors program administrator financial condition, credit exposure, and stress indicators in coordination with Finance.

Relationship Management

• Serves as primary carrier relationship owner and day-to-day contact for assigned program administrators.

• Leads business reviews, performance discussions, and coordination across internal functions.

• Acts as primary escalation contact and drives resolution of operational and performance issues.

• 8+ years of increasingly responsible commercial insurance, underwriting, or delegated authority / program management experience.

• Advanced knowledge of delegated authority oversight, governance, and commercial underwriting.

• Advanced financial analysis, portfolio management, and profitability-evaluation skills.

• Proven track record of leading cross-functional partners and influencing without direct authority.

• Strong due diligence, business-case development, and program-onboarding skills.

What would make us excited about you?

• Relevant industry designations (eg. CPCU, AU, ARe) preferred.

• In-depth experience underwriting, developing, or managing programs in the sharing economy and mobility market across multiple segments.

• Demonstrated experience assessing and structuring coverage for other emerging or specialty risk areas, including navigating limited loss history and evolving regulation.

• Actively shapes our company culture (e.g., supporting employee resource groups, mentoring employees, volunteering, joining cross-functional projects).

• Champions our cultural norms (e.g., willing to have cameras on when it matters: helping onboard new team members, building relationships, etc.).
