Senior Underwriter, Inland Marine

Description

Great underwriters know how to balance data analytics with human intuition. If you like both quantitative and qualitative reasoning, enjoy the challenge and autonomy of managing your own accounts—at a company that offers competitive compensation and benefits, then consider joining the underwriting department at Liberty Mutual.

This is a ranged posting and level offered will be based on candidate experience at manager discretion.

 

**Ideal candidate will be located in the mountain zone.  However, the position is open for a remote experienced underwriter outside of the territory**

• Clear communicator: You’ll maintain and nurture successful relationships with agents and brokers, while presenting proposals, negotiating deals and obtaining approvals
• Collaborative teammate: Contributing to overall team success, you’ll mentor underwriters in both a technical and professional capacity—sharing best practices and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement
