  • Strong analytical and critical‑thinking skills, particularly when evaluating loss history and risk characteristics

  • Financial acumen and sound underwriting judgment

  • A customer‑first mindset with a collaborative, relationship‑driven approach

  • Adaptability in a dynamic, evolving marketplace

  • A desire to learn and grow within Middle & Large Business underwriting

  • Proven success building internal and external partnerships

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills

  • Strong organizational, analytical, and decision‑making abilities

  • High‑energy, entrepreneurial mindset with resilience

  • Travel: 25%-30% to neighboring states
