    IAT Insurance Group has an immediate opening for Underwriting Director – Inland Marine & Property in our Alpharetta, Georgia or a Remote location.

    We’re looking for an experienced Inland Marine & Property Underwriting Director to step into a visible, impact-driven role. This is not a maintenance-only seat. You’ll own and grow a book while helping us expand our footprint—bringing ideas, new relationships, and underwriting expertise that move the business forward.

    This role works a hybrid schedule that requires working from the office Monday through Wednesday, with the option of working Thursday and Friday remotely.

    Responsibilities

    • Own and actively grow a profitable book of inland marine and property business across the region
    • Build and strengthen agency relationships to drive consistent, high-quality new business flow
    • Evaluate risks, pricing, and coverage structures using experience and judgment, knowing when to lean in and when to walk away
    • Analyze submissions, loss history, exposure changes, and external data to make informed, disciplined underwriting decisions
    • Set pricing that reflects the risk, using advanced loss analysis and sound judgment aligned with company strategy
    • Structure deals creatively when needed, using coverage features, deductibles, or reinsurance to meet both client and company goals
    • Interpret policies and contracts clearly, providing guidance to brokers and internal partners, including claims when questions arise
    • Mentor and provide guidance to junior underwriters, supporting their development and strengthening team underwriting capabilities
    • Meet in person with distribution partners a minimum of 5 times per month. These visits keep us close to market activity, sharpen our read on emerging trends, and ensure our partners understand where we're focused and why.
    • Perform other duties as needed

    Must-Have:

    • Bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field
    • 7+ years of inland marine and/or property underwriting experience
    • Strong understanding of the insurance marketplace, including inland marine and property products, pricing, and competitive dynamics
    • Proven ability to develop broker relationships that support both new and renewal business opportunities
    • Confidence in risk selection, pricing, and structuring deals, including the use of deductibles, coverage features, or reinsurance where appropriate
    • To qualify, applicants must be authorized to work in the United States and must not require VISA sponsorship now or in the future

    Preferred to Have:

    • Industry designations CPCU, ARM, or AU
