Role Overview

Operating as a member of the executive team and reporting directly to the Chief Underwriting Officer, the Vice President, Field Underwriting owns the entire underwriting P&L and the execution engine that supports it. This leader shapes company priorities, defines the multi-year strategy for Field Underwriting, and oversees the blended onshore and offshore operating model.
