Associate Underwriter I

Summit provides independent insurance agents and their clients with market-leading workers’ comp insurance and elite customer service. We’re growing and currently serve more than 7,000 independent agents and 31,000 policyholders across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic.

Our strength comes from a single-minded focus on workers’ comp and a commitment to long-term customer relationships. Summit is who you turn to when you need a specialist who not only knows workers’ comp but also gets to know your business and your priorities.

Our field team members are located in every state in which we operate.

Summit is a member of the Great American Insurance Group where our highest goal is for all employees to feel included, respected, and empowered to perform at their best.

It’s one thing to know workers’ comp. It’s another to know people. But knowing both? That creates an altogether different experience.
