Gray Insurance Company is a family-owned casualty carrier based in Metairie, Louisiana, with offices across the Gulf South and business in all 50 states. Gray Specialty / Custom Risk is our excess workers' compensation program. We work with organizations that self-insure their workers' comp and want protection against large or catastrophic claims. Each program is built around the client's own retention and risk profile, so every account is a little different, and that's the part we enjoy.

We're a small, close-knit team. Relationships with our brokers and clients matter here, and so does the way we treat each other.

What You'll Do

• Build and review new and renewal submissions, including loss history and operations, and learn to decide which accounts fit our program.
• Help put together quotes and coverage terms, learning to structure retentions and limits around each client's needs.
• Build relationships with brokers and clients by phone, email, and in person.
• Travel occasionally to visit brokers, and attend industry events, 2-4 trips a year.
• Keep accurate files and notes in our operating system, so the team always knows where an account stands.
