This is a senior, hands-on role for a property insurance professional with strong carrier-side underwriting experience who is excited to help build a P&C underwriting operation from the ground up while supporting affiliated real estate businesses as an underwriting counter party.

• Lead property underwriting activities for the affiliated P&C insurance company, including risk evaluation, selection, and pricing
• Underwrite property insurance risks across affiliated real estate portfolios and select third-party opportunities, considering construction type, occupancy, geography, CAT exposure, loss history, and risk mitigation
• Apply underwriting judgment to determine coverage terms, limits, deductibles, pricing assumptions, and policy structures
• Act as the underwriting point of contact for affiliated real estate platforms, providing carrier-side perspective during acquisitions, renovations, and operational changes
• Partner with brokers, reinsurance partners, and distribution counterparts in support of underwriting decisions and program structures
• Review and assess submissions and underwriting data to ensure alignment with underwriting appetite and portfolio objectives
• Develop and maintain underwriting guidelines, risk appetite statements, and authority levels as the platform scales
• Monitor property insurance market conditions and emerging risks to inform underwriting approach
• Provide underwriting input on claims, coverage interpretation, and loss trends as needed
• Support expansion of the platform through controlled third-party underwriting opportunities, consistent with underwriting strategy

• 8+ years of Property & Casualty insurance experience with a strong emphasis on property underwriting
• Background with a P&C carrier, Lloyd's syndicate, MGA, or specialty insurer
• Demonstrated experience underwriting complex commercial or institutional-quality property risks
• Strong understanding of underwriting fundamentals, pricing drivers, and policy structures
• Experience working with brokers and market-facing insurance counter parties
• Comfortable operating in a build-phase or entrepreneurial insurance environment

• Experience underwriting real estate-focused property portfolios
• Exposure to multi-state, multi-region, or catastrophe-exposed property risks
• Professional designation such as CPCU, ACII, or similar
