  • Build strong relationships with client stakeholders and manage escalated issues promptly to support retention and satisfaction.
  • Apply knowledge of commercial risks and products, including auto and fleet liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, property/real estate, inland marine/cargo, management liability, and other coverages as appropriate, to support client strategy and program design.
  • Lead end-to-end program and project execution for assigned accounts and initiatives, including scoping requirements, building project plans and timelines, coordinating cross-functional deliverables, managing risks and issues, and ensuring high-quality implementation and renewal.
  • Work closely with sales, servicing, compliance, legal, marketing, placement, claims, claims, technology, and other teams to meet revenue and client service goals.
  • Develop a strong understanding of client needs, market dynamics, and competitive trends within the transportation segment.
  • Partner with internal and external teams to refine client strategies and deliver solutions that respond to changing customer needs and business objectives.
  • Measure client success using disciplined, business-focused metrics and ongoing performance tracking.
  • Apply a systems-thinking approach to connect client needs, operational processes, technology, service delivery, and risk solutions across the broader business.
