Understand state laws, including cancellation and non-renewal, within assigned territory to properly transact business within each state. Knowledgeable in coverage forms and policy language; appropriate utilization of forms and exclusions.

This role involves significant strategic responsibilities, particularly in advancing and elevating our Excess Casualty business, with a sole focus on E&S-driven classes of business – Hospitality, Manufacturing, Transportation, and others.
