<Ledgebrook> is a tech-enabled Excess & Surplus (E&S) managing general agent (MGA) that provides fast, data-driven quoting and underwriting services to wholesale brokers. Ledgebrook combines a next-generation tech stack, modeling and analytics, and experienced underwriters to deliver rapid, streamlined submissions and casualty products such as general liability and professional liability.

📋 Description

• Set and maintain enterprise underwriting appetite, standards, and guidelines across all programs in coordination with the CPO and CRO’s Actuarial function. • Supervise and develop Underwriting Managers. • Review program-level underwriting audits and sign off on findings requiring escalation. • Own the underwriting side of new-program due diligence jointly with Business Development. • Escalate go/no-go recommendations to the CPO. • Serve as the senior underwriting authority in BAA negotiations, including binding authority limits, referral thresholds, and underwriting guideline provisions. • Work with Legal on final BAA language. • Track underwriting audit findings through remediation across the book. • Report portfolio-level underwriting quality trends to the CPO. • Coordinate with Actuarial and Claims on loss experience, emerging trends, and guideline changes across programs.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of P&C underwriting experience, including 4+ years managing or supervising underwriters in a delegated-authority/MGA-oversight environment. • Track record setting underwriting guidelines and appetite for a book of business, not just executing within them. • Experience negotiating binding authority agreement underwriting terms directly with program partners. • Must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. • CPCU, AU, or equivalent underwriting designation (nice to have). • Prior fronting-carrier, program administrator, or MGA-side underwriting leadership experience (nice to have). • Experience across multiple lines of business relevant to Stonehaven’s target programs (nice to have).

🏖️ Benefits

• Full remote flexibility and asynchronous work culture. • Unlimited PTO and fully paid sick leave. • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus HSA and FSA options. • Additional financial protection and retirement benefits, including a 401(k), company-paid life insurance, and disability coverage. • Employees in this position are eligible to participate in Ledgebrook’s equity incentive program.
