Commercial Underwriter

At GNP Brokerage, insurance is a strategic advantage, not a transaction. We partner with businesses to navigate complex risk with tailored solutions, deep expertise, and hands-on advocacy from placement through claims. As Commercial Underwriter, you turn that promise into protection—underwriting with precision so clients operate with confidence and we grow as a true partner, not just another broker.

Performance Objectives

• Underwrite commercial accounts across multiple lines within 48 hours of complete submission, delivering competitive terms that win 70%+ of quoted business while holding combined ratio targets.
• Build and maintain carrier relationships that expand appetite and capacity; secure at least two new or enhanced markets per quarter for priority industries.
• Partner with producers to structure coverage that matches client risk profiles, reducing mid-term endorsements and claim disputes by identifying gaps before bind.
• Drive efficiency through smart systems: complete 90% of files with full documentation and integrations so operations and claims teams have instant, accurate data.
• Provide proactive risk insights to clients and producers quarterly, turning underwriting into ongoing advisory that increases retention above 90%.
• Mentor junior staff on appetite, pricing, and client-first service so the team scales without sacrificing quality as we grow.
