    Job Description

    Gray Insurance Company is a family-owned casualty carrier based in Metairie, Louisiana, with offices across the Gulf South and business in all 50 states. Gray Specialty / Custom Risk is our excess workers' compensation program. We work with organizations that self-insure their workers' comp and want protection against large or catastrophic claims. Each program is built around the client's own retention and risk profile, so every account is a little different, and that's the part we enjoy.

    We're a small, close-knit team. Relationships with our brokers and clients matter here, and so does the way we treat each other.

    What You'll Do

    • Receive, organize and review new and renewal submissions, including loss runs, payroll and operations information, and follow up with brokers on anything missing.
    • Help prepare quotes, binders and policy documents, and check that terms, retentions and limits match what the underwriter approved.
    • Support broker and client relationships by phone and email, responding to requests quickly and professionally.
    • Track renewal dates, subjectivities and open items so nothing falls through the cracks.
    • Keep accurate files and notes in our operating system, so the team always knows where an account stands.
    • Work closely with other departments.
    • Bring ideas. If you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it.

    Who You Are

    • Positive and easy to work with. You build trust quickly with coworkers and brokers.
    • A learner. You ask good questions, take coaching well and want to grow.
    • A self-starter. You don't wait to be told what's next.
    • Dependable and organized. You follow through on details and deadlines.
    • A clear communicator in writing and in conversation.
    • Comfortable with numbers and basic financial information. We'll teach you the rest.
    • Proficient with Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Outlook.
    • Able to manage your own time and stay connected with the team, whether in our Metairie office or working remotely.

    Helpful, But Not Required

    • Experience in insurance, especially workers' compensation, underwriting support, claims, or broker/agency work.
    • A bachelor's degree, or equivalent work experience.
    • Progress toward an industry designation such as INS, AU or CPCU. We support continuing education.

    Why Gray

    • Hands-on mentorship from one of the most experienced people in the excess workers' comp market
    • A family-owned company where your work is seen and your voice counts
    • A specialty niche with real room to grow
