This individual will partner closely with underwriting and technology leaders to improve risk selection, operational efficiency, specialty-product enablement, and the overall underwriting experience. The role will take ownership of an existing underwriting product, move it into its next stage of adoption and scale, and establish a future-state roadmap incorporating data, automation, and AI.

- Modernize underwriting workstation and digital-platform capabilities
- Improve workflows across the submission-to-bind lifecycle
- Enable specialty P&C products through technology
- Prioritize enhancements based on business value, user experience, scalability, and delivery feasibility
- Incorporate data-driven, automated, and AI-enabled capabilities into the future roadmap
- Coordinate delivery across underwriting, engineering, architecture, data, risk, and compliance stakeholders
- Lead adoption and change-management activities
- Monitor user feedback, adoption, operational performance, and business outcomes
- Ensure current product decisions support future lines of business and capabilities
Role Requirements:
- Extensive experience within P&C insurance, underwriting technology, or insurance product management
- Strong understanding of North American commercial underwriting
- Experience supporting specialty-insurance products
- Strong knowledge of underwriting risk appetite and decision-making
- Direct experience with underwriting workstations, digital underwriting systems, or related platforms
- Strong understanding of the complete submission-to-bind lifecycle

- Experience leading technology-enabled underwriting transformation
- Demonstrated success scaling or materially enhancing an existing product
- Ability to translate underwriting requirements into technology capabilities
- Experience partnering with underwriting leaders and technology-delivery teams
- Strong stakeholder-management and presentation skills
- Ability to balance immediate business needs with long-term scalability
- Ability to work onsite in New York or New Jersey four days per week
- Willingness to travel as needed
Nice to Have:
- Policy-administration platform experience
- AI-enabled underwriting or decision-support solutions
- Data-driven pricing, risk selection, or portfolio-management experience
- Workflow-automation experience
- Change-management experience
- Vendor or third-party platform management
- Leadership or mentoring of product teams
- Experience supporting global insurance organizations
