About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Transportation to spearhead the development of its transportation practice. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in underwriting transportation programs and the ability to lead the creation of new initiatives. A key aspect of the role is the integration of technology and data into the underwriting process, and the candidate should be adept at this and have a proven track record in the field. Responsibilities include partnering with management to develop a transportation-focused program, creating underwriting guidelines, and leading the development of a technology platform to enhance the customer experience and internal efficiencies. The role also involves managing multiple programs, targeting wholesale partnerships, and overseeing data vendors to support the underwriting function.

Applicants for the Vice President of Transportation position at the company should have a minimum of 7 years' experience as a high-performing underwriter, with a specific focus on transportation underwriting. A BS/BA degree is required, and experience in leading a division is a plus. The successful candidate will be entrepreneurial, embrace new industry trends, and be a collaborative team member. Key skills include the ability to develop and refine risk models, manage multiple programs, and write standard operating procedures for efficient workflows. The role is senior-level and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer, so a strategic and leadership-oriented approach is essential.
