  • Price business in a timely manner according to company underwriting and pricing guidelines.
  • Market products to achieve company growth and profitability targets.
  • Develop on-going relationships with internal and external customers; monitor profitability and quality of submissions; and be aware of underwriting and/or product changes.
  • Review and develop a strong knowledge of: policy coverages, broker relationships, underwriting and team guidelines, processes and procedures and business strategy/organization.
