Claims Specialist

Ledgebrook is a tech-enabled E&S MGA dedicated to the wholesale distribution channel. Our mission is to provide our wholesale brokers with the fastest, easiest quoting experience while delivering best-in-class pricing and risk selection. Ledgebrook’s guiding principle is to eliminate friction for both our wholesalers and our underwriters.

Our next-gen tech stack supports faster, risk-differentiated solutions to be crafted and delivered in response to the fast-paced needs of the E&S market. Our data-driven approach seeks to unlock more opportunities and value from every submission received, leading to a faster ‘yes’ more frequently, but may also lead to a quick ‘no’.

We are motivated and structured to move faster than traditional insurance organizations. To fully align business objectives with a long-term view that supports our culture and values, all employees will have the opportunity to participate in company ownership through equity grants. We aim to deliver a highly compelling overall employee value proposition and a total compensation package that couples equity grants with base pay and benefits offerings.

At Ledgebrook, as a unified team of company stewards, we will Care, Strive, and Thrive together!
