We have significant regulatory differences in US and would like to provide local US insights to the producing country underwriter who will not be as familiar for form, rate, and US market practices.
The RC underwriter will partner with the producing underwriter who provides overall structure, coverage needs, and program binder to ensure we follow US underwriting standards, provide guidance, develop quote proposal(s), and issuance for the US exposure.
The RC underwriter will be responsible to support producing countries for a primary line of business with potential for secondary line(s), both guarantee cost and loss sensitive types of accounts to address seasonality of business.
The RC underwriter will not have market production responsibilities, although some US broker interaction will be required.
The RC underwriter will collaborate with a dedicated international servicing specialist working alongside to support the servicing and processing of the local US policies.
Ideal candidate will be flexible in thinking, enjoy working with different cultures, and an excellent collaborator.
