What are the responsibilities and job description for the AVP, Commercial Lines Home Office Corporate Underwriting position at King's Insurance Staffing?
Are you an experienced commercial underwriter who enjoys the technical side of the business but ready to step away from constant broker meetings, production goals, and account-by-account responsibilities?
King’s Insurance Staffing is partnering with a well-established national P&C insurance carrier seeking a senior underwriting professional for a highly visible corporate role. This position will use broad commercial underwriting expertise to help strengthen underwriting quality, governance, and risk discipline across multiple business divisions.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has built a career in production underwriting and wants to influence underwriting strategy at the enterprise level.

What we’re looking for:
- Approximately 10 years of commercial P&C underwriting experience
- Strong technical knowledge of commercial underwriting principles and risk selection
- Experience in production, home-office, corporate, product, or portfolio underwriting
- Exposure to underwriting audit, quality assurance, governance, or authority management is highly attractive but not required
- Ability to evaluate underwriting decisions and communicate credibly with senior leaders
- Interest in transitioning from an individual underwriting assignment into a broader corporate role
- Commercial P&C experience is required; Accident & Health backgrounds will not align
