The Opportunity

An established and growth-oriented commercial insurer is seeking a Commercial Underwriting Manager to join their Calgary office. This position is ideal for a seasoned commercial underwriting professional with leadership experience who’s ready to take on a management role or continue developing in one. The successful candidate will oversee a team of mid-market underwriters.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for meaningful career progression—whether you're currently a senior underwriter, team lead, or technical specialist seeking the next step.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • The position is open due to an internal promotion, reflecting strong career development and internal mobility
  • You'll have leadership responsibility for a team of underwriters
  • Focused portfolio in the mid-market space
  • Offers flexibility with a hybrid work model while still fostering in-person collaboration and coaching

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, coach, and support a team of commercial underwriters to ensure strong performance, development, and retention
  • Partner with internal stakeholders (e.g., Actuarial, Claims, Compliance) to develop tailored underwriting strategies
  • Guide and contribute to the assessment, pricing, and negotiation of risks across Property, Casualty, and Auto lines
  • Oversee underwriting quality, documentation, and adherence to guidelines and service standards
  • Collaborate closely with brokers to deliver customized insurance solutions and maintain strong business relationships
  • Contribute to process improvement, training initiatives, and change management efforts across the department

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of commercial property & casualty underwriting experience (mid-market focus; construction knowledge a strong asset)
  • Minimum 3 years of team leadership, supervisory, or mentoring experience
  • Level 2 license; completion of, or progress toward, CIP/FCIP/RPLU or equivalent designations
  • Proven ability to manage broker relationships with professionalism and responsiveness
  • Strong attention to detail and a collaborative mindset
  • Ability to lead change and build a culture of continuous improvement

Work Environment & Perks

  • Hybrid schedule with flexibility
  • Supportive, people-first culture that values both performance and well-being
  • Competitive compensation package including salary and annual bonus (up to 30%)
  • Comprehensive benefits including wellness programs, recognition rewards, and education reimbursement
  • Clear path for career advancement within a reputable and growing organization
