With a hybrid schedule that offers flexibility (two remote days), this is an excellent opportunity for those seeking a work environment that values balance, culture, and long-term success.
As a Bond Manager, you will be entrusted with overseeing the management of underwriting, production, and marketing efforts within the branch.

With our core values of being appreciative, committed, balanced, tenacious, fulfilled, nimble, and generous, we believe in fostering a culture that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and respect for work-life balance.
Your primary responsibility will be to ensure the achievement of net profit goals by setting production targets and territorial growth objectives.

As a Bond Manager, you'll also be responsible for identifying staffing needs, supervising direct reports, providing performance management, and contributing to the employee selection process.

Your territory will include regular travel by personal, rental, or company vehicle, public transportation, and occasionally by airplane. You will also participate in industry-specific events to stay on top of trends and opportunities in the fidelity and surety industry.
We believe in continuous growth, and as a Bond Manager, you will utilize our CRM software to track marketing efforts, grow the business, and provide valuable insights to our team. You’ll also have the opportunity to train your staff to use these tools effectively, fostering an environment of learning and development.
To be successful in this role, you should have a bachelor’s degree and at least five to seven years of progressive managerial experience in underwriting, production, and marketing within the fidelity and surety industry. Strong leadership skills, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of industry trends are essential to achieving success as a Bond Manager.
