Duties/Responsibilities:

  • Own the P&L and state plan for assigned expansion states, including profitable premium growth, rate adequacy, loss ratio, mix, retention, conversion, and corrective actions.
  • Build state programs from the ground up: assess markets and competitors, influence distribution and agency strategy, and define launch/ramp plans.
  • Manage catastrophe and portfolio risk across wildfire, hurricane, and convective-storm perils, using PML, AAL, aggregation, PML-to-premium, and peril mix to guide appetite and growth.
  • Partner with actuarial, underwriting, product, claims, operations, technology, compliance, and carrier/reinsurance partners to translate insights into rates, rules, forms, endorsements, eligibility, and underwriting actions.
  • Lead regulatory execution for rate, rule, and form filings, including DOI responses and filing support
  • Monitor performance against plan, diagnose emerging trends quickly, and drive practical actions to improve profitability, growth, and operational execution.

Required Skills/Abilities:

  • Deep analytical horsepower and P&L judgment, with command of rate adequacy, attritional loss ratio, frequency/severity, retention/conversion, PML, AAL, aggregation, and reinsurance constraints.
  • Proven ability to manage catastrophe-exposed Homeowners books, especially wildfire, hurricane and convective-storm.
  • Strong fluency in Homeowners forms, coverage provisions, endorsements, underwriting guidelines, rating mechanics, and how they affect profitability and customer/agent outcomes.
  • Fast, detail-oriented executor with grit, high ownership, and the ability to move multiple workstreams without waiting for perfect information.
  • Innovative and resourceful. Brings fresh ideas and is willing to get hands dirty to make a state successful.
  • Strong regulatory judgment and comfort supporting DOI engagement, SERFF filings, and objections.
  • Clear communicator who can align product, actuarial, underwriting, sales, compliance, operations, technology, carrier partners, and leadership around a state plan.

Required Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative or business field (e.g., Mathematics, Finance, Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, or similar).
  • 8+ years in property & casualty insurance, with significant Homeowners/residential property experience and direct state, portfolio, or P&L management responsibility.
  • Colorado and/or other hurricane & SCS-exposed Homeowners market experience.
  • Track record launching, growing, or materially improving a state or property program and managing it to a profitable result.
  • Ability to independently analyze book performance SQL, Python, and/or BI tools.
  • Strong strategic judgment paired with a hands-on, startup-style operating approach.

Preferred Requirements:

  • Experience with E&S programs and MGA/carrier partner models
  • MBA or quantitative graduate degree

Physical Requirements:

  • Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.

Salary: 

  • Starting at $160,000 annually. Candidate's skills, experience and abilities will be taken into consideration for final offer.
