About the Role

You will be supported at every step of the way, including by a team to assist you allowing you to grow a book of business that is strong and financially rewarding.
About You
- We are seeking someone with 3+ years of retail-facing casualty underwriting experience, but are open to alternative backgrounds if the fit is right.
- The ideal candidate will be located and working in the California/Arizona market.
- Since you will interface and work with some of the best brokerages, we're hoping you already have established relationships with key retail partners.
Compensation & Travel
- The compensation package target has a Competitive Base ($110k -$125k base target) + 40% Target Bonus + Potential Sign-on Bonus.
- There will be some travel involved (3 +/- days a month, depending on where you are located).
