Product Consultant, Personal Lines Property & Specialty

Do you want to shape future product offerings within USRM by helping the Personal Lines Specialty Team build best-in-class products across the portfolio while working to simplify our business by defining complex problems and recommending solutions?

 **The level of position offered will be based on skills and experience at manager discretion. This position may have in-office requirements depending on candidate location.**

The US Retail Markets PL Specialty Product organization is hiring a Consultant for the Specialty Frontier and Product Development team.

You will partner with cross-functional Specialty Product teams to drive alignment on your recommendations and ensure they are incorporated into our go-forward Frontier offerings.

This role offers the opportunity to gain exposure to different products and programs within the Specialty portfolio.
