About The Position
The Small Business Underwriter Trainee role begins in June 2026 as part of a 6-month structured training program designed to equip early-career professionals with the essential business, analytical, and technical skills needed to build a successful career in E&S underwriting.

Upon successful completion of the program, trainees will transition into a Small Business Underwriter role with delegated underwriting authority on an assigned team. The Trainee will support underwriting activities by participating in daily team operations, assisting underwriters with exposure and risk analysis, contacting agents for submissions, and joining external marketing calls.
