Commercial Surety Underwriter
CurrentMid-Continent Group underwrites specialty commercial insurance and contract surety products. With a long history of financial strength and stability, we are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great American Insurance Company. Mid-Continent Group benefits from the backing of one of the largest insurance and financial services providers in the United States. Working with some of the best independent insurance and surety agents in the industry, we’ve developed valued solutions to help our insureds grow and protect their businesses. We work hard to understand the needs of our agents and the industries we serve. We’re proud of the loyal and trusted relationships we’ve built with agents, insureds and employees that span decades. Creating strong, lasting partnerships is at the heart of our success. I underwrite and service new and existing small to mid-size commercial surety accounts. I am responsible for risk selection, pricing, retention and profitability. Using independent judgment, I receive and analyze financial statements and conduct investigations (banks, credit checks, etc.) for new account submissions and renewal accounts, as well as underwrite and process bond riders. In order to monitor accounts, I develop and use various business profit reports. I create and maintain effective business relationships with Surety Producers and clients in order to attract and retain profitable business. I provide support for market products and services for both internal and external customers.
