• Experience: 5+ years of P&C underwriting experience specifically within the manufacturing sector on the carrier side.
• Leadership (asset): Demonstrated people management, mentoring, and/or portfolio management.
• Network: A strong, active pipeline and established relationships with key brokers nationally, with a heavy emphasis on the Ontario market.
