Senior Underwriter – Ocean Marine Cargo New York or Chicago

The Senior Underwriter, Ocean Marine Cargo will act within established guidelines to analyze, evaluate, price, and manage new and renewal business in support of the growth of the U.S. Ocean Marine Cargo portfolio. The initial focus will include Small and Middle Market, Large Complex Transit, Stock Throughput, and Excess Stock Exposure risks

The role will also support AXIS’s broader Marine Logistics capabilities, which complement traditional Cargo coverage by addressing liability exposures throughout the movement, handling, and storage of goods. Relevant experience may include Cargo Legal Liability, Warehouse Legal Liability, Errors & Omissions, Shipper’s Interest, and packaged logistics solutions.

Candidate Profile

The Senior Underwriter, Ocean Marine Cargo will be a hands-on technical underwriting professional with a demonstrated history of success within a leading commercial insurance carrier, building and managing a complex Ocean Marine Cargo portfolio.

Candidates should have strong relationships across Ocean Marine Cargo wholesale and retail broker channels and full lifecycle underwriting experience, including solicitation and evaluation of submissions, risk analysis, structuring terms and conditions, pricing, preparing and issuing indications, quotations and binders, and portfolio management.

Candidates with Marine Logistics or related supply-chain liability underwriting experience are especially attractive, including exposure to freight forwarders, logistics providers, warehouse operators, and transportation intermediaries. Experience with Cargo Legal Liability, Warehouse Legal Liability, Errors & Omissions, Shipper’s Interest, or packaged Marine Logistics solutions is highly desirable.

The successful candidate should understand how traditional Cargo exposures interact with transportation, warehousing, contractual liability, and logistics-related risks across the broader supply chain, allowing them to evaluate opportunities from both a cargo/property and logistics liability perspective

  • Assess supply-chain exposures involving freight forwarders, logistics providers, warehouse operators, transportation intermediaries, and other businesses involved in the movement, handling, and storage of goods.
  • Review contractual and operational exposures to determine appropriate coverage structure, limits, retentions, pricing, terms, conditions, and endorsements.
  • Work with brokers to identify cross-sell opportunities across Ocean Cargo and Logistics, and develop broader solutions for clients with complex supply-chain exposures.
  • Prospect for new business and develop strategies targeting Small to Middle Market and Large Complex Corporate risks.
  • Develop and maintain strong wholesale and retail broker relationships, using those relationships to generate submissions and expand the portfolio.

Required Experience

  • 5+ years of direct Ocean Marine Cargo underwriting experience.
  • Demonstrated experience building and managing complex Ocean Cargo business.
  • Experience with Logistics, Cargo Legal Liability, Warehouse Legal Liability, Errors & Omissions, Shipper’s Interest, or related transportation/logistics liability products strongly preferred.
  • Understanding of supply-chain exposures and the contractual relationships among cargo owners, freight forwarders, logistics providers, warehouse operators, and transportation intermediaries.
  • Ability to build and expand retail and wholesale broker relationships.
  • Strong technical underwriting, portfolio management, negotiation, and presentation skills.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a collaborative underwriting environment with strong attention to detail.
