  • Build a strong pipeline of new business opportunities, utilizing effective sales behaviors to achieve annual growth objectives for your territory.
  • Collaborate with internal and external partners to ensure outstanding service for all assigned accounts.
  • Uphold high-quality standards for underwriting accuracy and compliance.
