  5. Identify and capture opportunities to write additional lines of business using knowledge of products, risk characteristics and appetite.
  6. Proactively utilise various technology platforms to quote and bind risk efficiently.
  7. Provide input and support the presentation of Underwriting Reviews for individual policies or portfolios and manage action points.
  8. Cultivate and maintain relationships with internal partners within the business unit and across the enterprise to identify cross-selling opportunities.
  9. Foster and maintain relationships with brokers by phone, email or other communication channels to market and sell Travelers products with a goal of writing and retaining accounts consistent with our risk appetite. Must be able to travel to meetings.
  10. Develop and execute pipeline plans and support the renewal team in the retention of business that aligns with the team's sales plans to drive success working in partnership with the sales team.
  11. Train and mentor less experienced underwriters.
  12. Support and collaboration for more junior members of the team, including referrals.
  13. Perform other duties as assigned.
