Job Description


Surplus Lines Underwriter (E&S)

We’re partnering with a high-growth, specialty insurance platform seeking a broker-facing underwriter to join its expanding team. This role offers the opportunity to work on complex, non-standard risks while building strong relationships and developing a profitable book of business.

You’ll operate in a fast-paced environment with access to established broker networks, internal resources, and leadership support—providing a clear path toward increased autonomy and long-term income growth.

What You’ll Do
  • Evaluate, price, and structure complex surplus lines risks across multiple industries
  • Work directly with wholesale and retail brokers to negotiate terms and secure new business
  • Manage the full underwriting lifecycle, including new submissions, renewals, and endorsements
  • Develop and maintain strong broker relationships to drive consistent deal flow
  • Apply underwriting judgment to balance risk selection and profitability
  • Collaborate internally to align on appetite, capacity, and pricing strategy
  • Contribute to the growth and profitability of a defined book of business

What We’re Looking For
  • 3–5+ years of commercial underwriting experience, preferably within E&S or specialty lines
  • Solid understanding of non-admitted markets and complex risk evaluation
  • Broker-facing experience with the ability to negotiate and influence outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple accounts and prioritize effectively
  • Commercial mindset with interest in developing a book of business
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in specialty lines such as construction, inland marine, transportation, or casualty
  • Professional designations such as CPCU, AU, or ARM (or progress toward completion)
  • Property & Casualty license (or willingness to obtain, if applicable)

What’s Offered
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus structure
  • Clear path toward production and increased earning potential
  • Access to strong broker relationships and deal flow
  • Collaborative, entrepreneurial team environment
  • Hybrid flexibility
