Job Description

About the Insurer
Our Client is a globally active specialty insurer with a strong presence in New York City and a mission to support the world's most innovative companies. Their focus is on emerging industries-think blockchain, AI, fintech, biotech, and beyond. We provide tailored insurance solutions that help these businesses manage complex, evolving risks.
The Role: Senior Underwriter - Cyber & Tech E&O (NYC-Based)
Our client is seeking a seasoned Cyber underwriter who understands the nuances of the NYC market and is ready to take on a strategic, high-impact role. You'll be responsible for underwriting complex Cyber and Technology E&O risks, building broker relationships, and helping shape our underwriting strategy in one of the most dynamic insurance hubs in the world.
What You'll Do:
  • Underwrite and price Cyber and Tech E&O risks, with a focus on emerging exposures and evolving threat landscapes.
  • Draft and negotiate customized policy language and endorsements.
  • Leverage your broker network to drive new business and deepen existing relationships.
  • Represent the company at NYC-based industry events, round tables, and conferences.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to identify cross-sell opportunities and support broader growth initiatives.
  • Analyze portfolio performance and contribute to strategic planning and product development.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and internal underwriting standards.
  • Take part in special projects that support innovation and operational efficiency.
What You Bring
Your Background:
  • Around 5 years of experience underwriting Cyber and/or Tech E&O risks, ideally in the NYC market.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, insurance, cybersecurity, or a related field.
  • Strong broker relationships across the U.S., with a focus on New York-based wholesale and retail partners.
  • Experience drafting and negotiating policy wordings and endorsements.
  • Professional designations (e.g., CPCU, RPLU, ACII) are a plus.
Your Skills:
  • Deep understanding of cyber risk trends, threat vectors, and regulatory environments.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence and build trust.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing a fast-paced workload.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office; familiarity with Mac OS is a bonus.
  • Comfortable leading client and broker meetings and presenting at industry events.
  • Interest in emerging tech sectors like AI, blockchain, and biotech is a strong differentiator.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn't just another underwriting job-it's a chance to work at the forefront of innovation in one of the most exciting insurance markets in the world. You'll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that values creativity, autonomy, and impact.
