  • Partner with underwriters to broaden broker relationship ownership across the team.
• Referral Channel Activation:
  • Develop reinsurers and service providers, including TPAs, law firms, and actuarial firms, as structured, trackable referral sources.
• Conference & Event Strategy:
  • Own Incline's presence at key industry events (Target Markets, PCI, AIR, InsureTech Connect, WSIA).
  • Lead pre-event meeting planning and post-event pipeline tracking to maximize ROI.
• CRM & Reporting:
  • Enhance and manage a CRM that provides leadership visibility into relationship ownership, pipeline status, and follow-through.
  • Report on KPIs across all growth channels at QBRs and board cadence.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Partner with underwriting to coordinate commercial and personal lines outreach.
  • Contribute to key account strategy alongside senior leadership.

• Deep familiarity with the reinsurance broker landscape and MGA ecosystem; existing relationships a significant advantage.
• Strong CRM discipline and comfort with pipeline reporting and performance management tools.
• Executive presence with the ability to represent Incline credibly at the senior level; strong business writing and presentation skills.
• Effective cross-functional partner who can influence without authority and manage multiple priorities across teams.
• Proactive, structured, and relationship-first — with a track record of building pipelines, not just managing inbound.
