Executive Underwriter, Large Complex Accounts

What it’s like to be a Northbridge Insurance Executive Underwriter

These risks often involve layered and shared programs, and customized manuscript coverage. They work closely with our extensive broker network to develop unique underwriting solutions. The Executive Underwriter is responsible for underwriting and servicing highly complex and unique accounts, exercising sound judgement in accordance with established guidelines, all while confidently navigating exceptions and referrals to achieve business objectives and national standards.

Our Executive Underwriters are passionate about maintaining strong relationships with our internal stakeholders and broker partners. They are trusted technical authorities, providing guidance on risk selection, coverage structure, wordings, and underwriting position. Their written communications help guide our underwriters in risk assessment and decision‑making, and are considered the "go‑to" subject matter experts from many of our partners in Actuarial, Claims, Reinsurance, Engineering, and System teams.
