About The Position

Ledgebrook is seeking experienced E&S Underwriting Assistant talent to join our growing team, whose mission is to build a profitable book of E&S business across expanding lines of business and coverages.

We are looking for candidates with a strong overall E&S support background across various lines of business, including a curiosity to gain a deeper knowledge of our business.
