Purpose

Tributary Public Risk (TPR) is a rapidly growing specialty Managing General Agent (MGA) and Lloyd’s of London's Coverholder focused exclusively on the Canadian public sector insurance market.

TPR provides innovative insurance solutions to municipalities, Indigenous communities, public entities, educational institutions, non-profits and other public-sector organizations across Canada. Backed by deep municipal-sector roots and supported by modern underwriting technology, TPR is building a different kind of insurance organization—one that combines underwriting discipline, data-driven decision making and exceptional service.

The Commercial Lines Underwriter is responsible for evaluating, selecting, pricing, and managing commercial insurance risks to support profitable growth while maintaining underwriting integrity and compliance with company guidelines. This role analyzes risk exposures, determines appropriate coverage terms and pricing, and collaborates with brokers, agents, and internal stakeholders to deliver responsive service and tailored insurance solutions that meet client needs while achieving organizational profitability and risk management objectives.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking an Intermediate/Senior Commercial Lines Underwriter to join our team and help shape the future of public sector insurance in Canada.

This is an ideal role for an ambitious underwriter who wants more than simply processing renewals.

You will work directly with senior leadership, brokers, insurer partners and Lloyd’s of London markets to evaluate complex risks, develop underwriting solutions and contribute to the growth of a specialist underwriting platform.

As a growing MGA, every team member has the opportunity to influence underwriting strategy, product development, workflow design and technology initiatives.
