We are looking for top talent to join us in building new products by harnessing the power of innovative approaches. We offer the opportunity to be on the ground floor of building a book of business with the innovation and flexibility of an MGA, supported by the resources of an established carrier – including insurance companies, operational support teams, claims, actuarial services, and more. We offer the following:

Ground-floor participation in building a book of business, defining a dynamic culture, establishing our underwriting style, and influencing new capability prioritization.

The Program

We are launching a commercial property program to underwrite small and middle-market businesses on an E&S basis nationwide. Coverage will be written on a monoline basis. We will be pursuing risks in the, habitational, warehousing, office, service, and retail sectors, with planned expansions over time.
