About the role
- We're looking for someone who sees the connection between a single underwriting decision and the long-term trajectory of a territory.
- Translate risk analysis into portfolio-level decisions - evaluating new business, renewals, endorsements, and complex submissions with an eye toward long-term profitability, not just individual acceptability.
- Provide coverage guidance, creative solutions, and market insights that make agents want to bring you their best business.
Responsibilities
- Most underwriting roles ask you to manage a book.
- At South Shore Insurance Underwriters, you won't just evaluate individual risks - you'll help define what a healthy, growing portfolio looks like, influence the relationships that drive it, and contribute to the strategy that sustains it.
- Drive continuous improvement - collaborating with leadership to sharpen underwriting processes, surface workflow inefficiencies, and contribute ideas that make the entire operation smarter.
- You build real relationships, not transactional ones.
- We recognize that work is only one part of a fulfilling life and strive to support the well-being of our coworkers both inside and outside the workplace.
Requirements
- 5+ years of Property & Casualty underwriting experience - homeowners, dwelling property, personal lines, commercial property, or specialty/E&S lines.
- Experience evaluating new business, renewals, endorsements, and policy changes
- Experience working directly with independent insurance agents
- Experience making underwriting decisions within established authority limits
- Excess & Surplus Lines experience is valued but not required.
- A track record of building strong agency relationships and delivering decisions agents rely on.
- Sharp analytical instincts paired with clear, confident communication - written and verbal.
- Comfort working independently in a remote environment, with the discipline to manage competing priorities without losing quality.
