As a Surety Account Specialist your day will vary depending on your level of Surety experience. If you have no Surety experience we will provide all required training and mentorship. A less experienced Specialist will learn how to provide surety technical advice/support to non‑surety personnel and coordinate receipt of pertinent underwriting information. If you are a more experienced Specialist you will work more independently and have more interaction with clients and Surety Advisors.

A senior level Specialist may be called on to provide mentoring and coaching to other less experienced colleagues.

All Specialists, regardless of surety knowledge, will confirm that bonds are issued in compliance with surety lines of credit and assist in the negotiation of approvals for execution of bonds that are outside of, or in excess of, established surety lines of credit or broker authority.
