Ledgebrook is seeking experienced Casualty Underwriters, for both General Liability and Unsupported Excess lines, to join our growing team whose mission is focused on building a profitable book of casualty business. Ledgebrook’s 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 mold, we’re looking for you!
As a member of the Ledgebrook Casualty team, you will regularly interact with our wholesale trading partners over the phone, virtually and in-person to drive in-appetite submission flow and convert on the best opportunities quoted. We are looking for disciplined underwriting candidates that possess a strong overall E&S casualty background with experience across multiple industry segments, i.e. manufacturing, distributors, construction, real estate, retail, mercantile, habitational and hospitality.
We are flexible with both a candidate’s experience level and physical work location. The actual position title (Underwriter, Senior UW, Executive UW, etc.) and role (Individual Contributor, Team Lead, 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!
