About the Role
Hedge is looking for a founding wholesale broker to build and run our placement function for commercial auto. You’ll own the desk end to end—deciding which markets to use, shaping how we partner with retail agents, and designing the broking workflow and systems that support placements.
This is an ownership role for a fast-moving, high-agency broker who wants to build from the ground up, not inherit a pre-existing book.
Responsibilities
- Handle wholesale submissions from intake through marketing, negotiation, quoting, binding, and ongoing servicing
- Develop and maintain relationships with retail agents to grow inbound submission flow
- Manage carrier and intermediary relationships across E&S carriers, MGAs, and London markets
- Negotiate coverage terms, pricing, and binding structure on behalf of retail clients
- Translate placement judgment into repeatable workflows, rules, and operational improvements
Requirements
- Proven experience brokering commercial auto placements in the wholesale market
- Strong negotiation skills and ability to structure coverage and terms
- Established relationships with retail agents and/or wholesale carriers (E&S, MGAs, and/or London markets)
- Comfort building processes and systems that improve speed and consistency
Benefits
- Ownership and direct influence over markets, workflow, and product direction
- High-growth environment with meaningful upside tied to performance
- Collaboration with founders on distribution, appetite, and carrier strategy
