At Nationwide®, "on your side" goes beyond just words. Our customers and partners are at the center of everything we do and we're looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care. This role will be in our Contract+ unit. The ideal candidate will have brokerage casualty (GL) underwriting experience in the Excess & Surplus (non-admitted) line of business. This role does not qualify for employer-sponsored work authorization. Nationwide does not participate in the Stem OPT Extension program. #LI-CL1 #LI-Remote Job Description Summary Are you a critical thinker who can analyze complex risk and find insurance solutions that balance customer needs with business goals? If you can take initiative, use both your analytical and creative abilities to make sound decisions and have a desire to help people solve real challenges, we want to hear from you! Our Excess & Surplus/Specialty (E&S/S) lines allow us to provide insurance that other carriers may not offer. It's a fast-paced environment in a collaborative, team-oriented culture, working in an always-changing, growing industry. As an Underwriting Specialist in Contract you determine individual risk acceptability, pricing, coverage, terms and conditions, by developing, analyzing and evaluating information and exposures on risks of a complex technical nature for the assigned line of business. In addition, you'll achieve production and loss ratio goals with assigned general agents or program managers by reviewing and analyzing claims, loss history and taking appropriate action on accounts. General agent assignments are more complex in terms of coverage and general agent relationships. It's important to establish and maintain effective relationships with general agents to generate premium dollars and profitability. You will work independently with a high level of authority and judgment. Determining appropriate reinsurance placement, if any, on individual accounts is an important element of this role. We will count on you to foster positive business relationships with co-workers, general agents and reinsurers. You will also assist with research, development and presentation of new products, forms and manuals and have opportunities to assist in the training and mentoring of Underwriters and Underwriting Assistants.
