Job Description

Are you looking for your next opportunity?

Sompo has a unique opportunity for a Senior Underwriter in our Primary Retail Casualty Business Unit.

The Primary Retail Casualty team delivers a client-focused approach to risk management by providing comprehensive multi-line solutions. These include general liability, commercial auto, and workers' compensation coverages, offered through various program structures such as guaranteed cost, self-insured retentions (SIRs), deductibles, and captives. The team specializes in serving large accounts across diverse industries in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, such as manufacturing, real estate, hospitality, financial institutions, professional services, life sciences, technology, retail, and Asian-interest sectors. Collaboration with other business units, including property, umbrella/excess, and environmental, is a key component of the team's strategy and contributes to the organization's overall success.

Location: This position will be based out of our New York, NY, Charlotte, NC, Purchase, NY, Garden City, NY or Morristown, NJ office. We strive for collaboration, which is why we offer a work environment where our employees thrive and develop long-lasting careers.

Our business, your impact, our opportunity:

What you’ll be doing:

  • Serve as a trusted underwriting expert, leveraging deep technical knowledge across a broad range of industries and casualty products, including Real Estate, Hospitality, Financial Institutions, Professional Services, Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Technology, Retail, General Liability, Workers Compensation, Commercial Auto, and Umbrella.
  • Analyze submissions efficiently, evaluate risk exposures, and make timely underwriting decisions that align with Sompo’s underwriting appetite, guidelines, and profitability objectives.
  • Apply advanced pricing and rating methodologies across a variety of program structures, including Guaranteed Cost, Captives, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), and Deductible programs. Develop profitable and competitive pricing strategies through comprehensive financial, exposure, and market analysis.
  • Demonstrate underwriting expertise through strategic evaluation of large and complex casualty risks, including detailed account reviews, coverage analysis, and comprehensive file documentation.
  • Prepare and evaluate underwriting recommendations, rate modifications, exceptions, referrals, and declination decisions to support profitable growth and achieve territory objectives.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with brokers and agency partners, serving as the primary underwriting contact. Represent Sompo in client and broker meetings, industry events, and networking opportunities to strengthen market presence and drive new business development within the assigned territory.

What you’ll bring:

  • 5+ years of commercial underwriting experience, preferably within casualty lines.
  • Bachelor’s Degree preferred, or equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
  • Experience in underwriting and managing accounts of varying sizes with large brokerage houses, regional agencies, and specialty retail brokers.
  • Demonstrated success in developing, quoting, negotiating, and binding profitable business while effectively managing portfolio performance.
  • Established relationships with brokers and agents on both a regional and national level.
  • Excellent Communication, presentation, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to access complex risk, make sound business decisions and balance profitability with growth objectives.
  • Willingness to travel to market assigned territory to include overnight trips (25%).

Salary Range: $100,000 - $170,000. Actual compensation for this role will depend on several factors including the cost of living associated with your work location, your qualifications, skills, competencies, and relevant experience.

At Sompo, we recognize that the talent, skills, and commitment of our employees drive our success. This is why we offer competitive, high-quality compensation and benefit programs to eligible employees.

We continuously evaluate and update our benefit programs to ensure that our plans remain competitive and meet the needs of our employees and their dependents. Below is a summary of our current comprehensive U.S. benefit programs:

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
