About you
We’re looking for an experienced, driven self‑starter with a strong work ethic who can operate effectively both independently and as part of a team. You will bring prior healthcare or medical malpractice experience from either an underwriting or broker background with a proven ability to build and maintain long‑term broker relationships.
