About the Role
We are seeking experienced Cyber Liability underwriting talent to join our growing team whose mission is focused on building a profitable book of cyber liability business. Our vision is to deliver market relevant solutions to our key wholesale trading partners in a more frictionless environment that places an emphasis on efficiencies and quality to meet or exceed our broker’s overall needs in a risk differentiated manner. If you possess an entrepreneurial passion that includes a proven track history of delivering underwriting excellence and are seeking an opportunity to break out of the traditional insurance company mould, we’re looking for you!
As a member of the Cyber team, you will regularly interact with our wholesale trading partners over the phone, virtually and in-person to drive submission flow and convert on the best opportunities quoted. We are looking for disciplined underwriting candidates that possess a strong overall cyber liability background with experience underwriting risks of all industries and sizes.
We are flexible with both a candidate’s experience level and physical work location. The actual position title (Underwriter, Senior UW, AVP, etc.) will be dependent on a candidate’s specific experience and qualifications. We currently operate in a fully remote work environment, so we’re more focused on your experience and cultural fit than where you physically sit!
