The Impact You Will Have

Great underwriters know how to balance data analytics with human intuition.  If you like both quantitative and qualitative reasoning, enjoy the challenge and autonomy of managing your own business and accounts—at a company that offers competitive compensation and benefits, then consider joining the team at Allianz Commercial.

In this role as an Underwriting Specialist, you’ll develop, grow and help steward a multi-coverage book of business while working closely with agents and brokers through frequent contact points (both in-person and virtually), provide a go-to support for the local territory, prospect, pipeline, listen and be an educator to the marketplace, assess risks, determine premiums, set conditions and negotiate in order to ensure profitability and meet new business goals.

We encourage you to apply and bring your expertise if you are:

• Experienced in underwriting profitable Middle Market Multiline business (at least 7 years);
• Entrepreneurial-Minded: determined, focused, driven, decisive, authentic, adaptable, creative and interested in strategizing, growing, building and seeing the imprints of your own success;
• Customer Focused: you enjoy being the face and ambassador for your dedicated territory, fostering relationships, being a thought partner, collaborator, portfolio-builder with key stakeholders;
• Collaborative: you want to contribute to overall team success, mentoring underwriters in both technical and professional skills, as well as share best practices and partner with your teammates to identify opportunities for continuous improvement;
• A Problem Solver: you’ll crunch the numbers and review the data to determine risk selection, premiums, policies and conditions, as well as identify opportunities for improved growth, profit and diversification;
• A Strategic Account Manager: you’ll ensure a profitable book of Property and Casualty insurance by writing new accounts with varying premiums and complexity, growing successful agent and broker relationships;
• A Conscientious Professional: Understanding that the deal isn’t done until the paperwork is signed, you’ll document and compile comprehensive account reviews, state-compliant signoffs and referrals, letters of authority and underwriting guidelines; and
• A Clear Communicator: You’ll maintain and nurture successful relationships with agents and brokers, while presenting proposals, negotiating deals and obtaining approvals.

The annualized base pay range for this role is $113,147 - $192,172. The annual base salary range represents a nationwide market range. The actual salary for this position may be above and will be determined by a number of factors, including the scope, complexity and location of the role; the skills, education, training, credentials and experience of the candidate. The base pay is just one component of the AzC total compensation package. As part of our comprehensive compensation and highly rated benefits programs, employees are also eligible for annual performance-based cash incentive awards.
