 About the Role 

MGT Insurance is looking for an entrepreneurial E&S Underwriter to help shape the next chapter of our company. This is not a plug-and-play underwriting role - it’s an opportunity to be part of a small, highly empowered team building a modern E&S platform in one of the fastest-growing segments of the insurance market.

Your decisions matter, and you’ll be accountable for outcomes.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys problem-solving, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and has a strong bias for action. The work is challenging - and intentionally so - but also deeply rewarding. If you’re excited by the idea of building, believe the industry can be better, and have felt frustrated by the slow pace of change, we’d love to talk.

What you bring

  • Experience: 3+ years underwriting E&S (excess & surplus) commercial insurance. Candidates with 3+ years brokering E&S commercial insurance will be considered, if technical risk analysis skills are strong.
  • Technical: Embrace the idea of adapting to new technology and systems, early adopter mentality.
  • Cross-functional chops: Proven ability to partner with other key roles - including product management and technology. 
  • Mindset: Builder’s mentality - has a strong bias for action, and embraces the idea that no two days are similar when building and scaling an AI-driven insurer.
