Senior Commercial Underwriter; Remote​/Ontario

Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Commercial Underwriter to support the continued growth of its commercial insurance business in Ontario. This is a remote opportunity for an experienced Ontario-based underwriter who brings strong technical expertise, local market knowledge, and established broker relationships.

The successful candidate will become an important technical underwriting resource in the Ontario market, working closely with business development leadership to evaluate opportunities, support broker relationships, and help expand the organization’s commercial presence across the province.

This role offers the opportunity to combine hands‑on commercial underwriting with broader market involvement. You will have meaningful autonomy, exposure to a diverse commercial portfolio, and the opportunity to support the continued development of a growing Ontario operation.

Candidates throughout Ontario are encouraged to apply. The role does not need to be based specifically in the Greater Toronto Area.

• Assess, price, negotiate, and structure commercial property and casualty risks in accordance with established underwriting guidelines and risk appetite.
• Underwrite a diverse commercial portfolio that may include commercial property and liability, realty, manufacturing, hospitality, construction and course of construction, professional lines, and other commercial exposures.
• Manage both new business and renewal accounts.
• Evaluate opportunities originating through broker and business development relationships within the Ontario market.
• Take ownership of the underwriting process from submission review and risk assessment through quoting, binding, policy documentation, and account finalization.
• Apply strong technical judgment when assessing complex or non-standard commercial risks.
• Build and maintain productive relationships with Ontario brokers and other insurance‑market partners.
• Attend broker meetings, industry events, and market‑development activities as appropriate.
• Work collaboratively with business development and underwriting leadership to evaluate and support new opportunities.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced underwriting professionals.
• Contribute local Ontario market knowledge and insight as the organization continues to expand its presence in the province.
• Manage priorities independently while contributing to a collaborative national underwriting environment.

Our client is an established Canadian property and casualty insurer with a growing commercial portfolio and an established history of writing business in Ontario.

The organization offers broad underwriting exposure rather than heavily segmenting individuals by account size, class of business, or new business versus renewals. Senior underwriters are encouraged to take meaningful ownership of accounts and apply professional judgment throughout the underwriting lifecycle.

You are an experienced commercial underwriter who understands both the technical and relationship sides of the Ontario insurance market.

You bring strong commercial property and casualty expertise and are comfortable assessing a broad range of risks independently. You understand the Ontario broker landscape and can evaluate opportunities based on sound underwriting fundamentals and market context.

You are confident working remotely and independently while staying closely connected to underwriting and business‑development colleagues.

You also enjoy sharing your expertise. Less experienced underwriters are comfortable coming to you for guidance, and you are willing to help others strengthen their underwriting judgment, confidence, and technical capability.
