Job description

What it’s like to be a Northbridge Associate Underwriter, Technical Risk:

Northbridge Insurance Associate Underwriters customize solutions for our commercial clients when they need insurance products to cover our large, complex commercial technical risks.  They work closely with our extensive broker network to develop unique solutions for all classes of risk.

Our Associate Underwriters are passionate about maintaining strong relationships with our brokers – this means emails and phone calls don’t go unanswered, and in-person broker meetings are regularly penned into their calendars.  Working in a collaborative team, there is the opportunity for coaching, mentoring and development from our more experienced underwriters to help grow your appetite of risks.

This is a 9-month contract position.

We want your talent!

If you are great at:

  • Commercial underwriting

  • Problem-solving and critical thinking

  • Customer service and relationship-building

If you have:

  • 2+ years of Commercial Underwriting experience

  • Post-secondary school education and/or equivalent on the job experience

  • Experience in the commercial property and casualty industry

  • Experience with commercial fleet underwriting is considered an asset

  • Working knowledge of underwriting manuals, policy contracts, rating programs, risk information sources, underwriting/technical manual information, statuary constraints, and computer workflow procedures

  • Strong customer service background

We really mean it when we say we put you first. Here are a few ways how:

  • Hybrid work! We have a flexible hybrid model that allows you to work from home up to 2 days per week, with added flexibility for when you really need it.

  • NBFC cares about the community and supports the causes you believe in with donation matching and team volunteer days.

  • We help you prioritize your well-being from day one through wellness programs, rewards, and recognition programs.

We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The base salary range for this role is $52,000 - $78,000, which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual base salary may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back — we’d still love to hear from you.
