Underwriting Assistant

Does it ever feel like you’re working with one hand tied behind your back? Tired of the struggles and inefficiencies associated with legacy systems and processes? Spending too much of your time and energy completing mundane tasks? Restricting any efforts to deepen your knowledge base, and deliver high-quality underwriting support and service excellence?

At Ledgebrook, we believe a progressively expanding career in underwriting can be so much more. You bring passion and entrepreneurial spirit; we’ll provide the platform and opportunity to unleash the very best of your talents and skills. Apply now to advance your underwriting knowledge and career at Ledgebrook.

Ledgebrook is seeking experienced E&S Underwriting Assistant talent to join our growing team, whose mission is to build a profitable book of E&S business across expanding lines of business and coverages. Ledgebrook’s vision is to deliver market-relevant solutions to our key wholesale trading partners in a more frictionless environment that places an emphasis on efficiencies and quality to meet or exceed our broker’s overall needs in a risk-differentiated manner. If you possess an entrepreneurial passion with a proven track history of delivering high-quality underwriting support and seek an opportunity to break out of the traditional insurance company mold, we’re looking for you!

As a member of the Ledgebrook Underwriting Support team, you will regularly interact with Ledgebrook’s underwriters and wholesale trading partners over the phone, virtually, or in-person to facilitate various transactions independently or with limited guidance. We are looking for candidates with a strong overall E&S support background across various lines of business, including a curiosity to gain a deeper knowledge of our business. 

We currently operate in a fully remote work environment, so we’re more focused on your experience and cultural fit than where you physically sit!

Here at Ledgebrook we are passionate about creating a team that is on a continuous learning journey and that shares our excitement about building a company from the ground up. Some of the characteristics we hold dear are:

• A strong drive and desire to win together as a high-performing team.

• Prior general/technical E&S underwriting support experience across various lines of business and coverages.

• Ability to obtain required information from brokers, organizing/maintaining file documentation and facilitating transactions with other underwriting support resources.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to balance multiple tasks/projects to focus on key priorities and deadline achievement.
