About Ryan Specialty

Ryan Specialty works between retail insurance agents and carriers: its RT Specialty arm places property, casualty, professional lines, transportation and workers' compensation risks that retail brokers bring it, and the group also runs binding authority and managing general underwriter businesses. At RT the account executive title is a service and placement seat on a broker's team, not a producer job: the AE gathers account information, builds market submissions and quote comparisons, negotiates terms with underwriters, checks binders, policies and endorsements and runs the renewal calendar for a book the broker owns, with new business coming through referrals and the broker's own pitches (the Chicago brokerage operations posting says plainly that the seat is not a path to producing). Casualty teams in Phoenix and New York put their AEs on heavy construction, excess and surplus, excess auto, hospitality and habitational accounts, and the Phoenix posting names an inside broker role as the next step up. The entry into selling is a two-year producer development program run with the carrier USLI out of Tampa, where business development associates visit retail agencies across South Florida, demo quoting and build a territory without needing prior sales experience, while a lead account executive in Media, Pennsylvania runs a policy operations team of underwriting assistants rather than a book. Sales-titled seats are in the US, in broker offices five days a week or hybrid, apart from a fully remote casualty seat open to New York and New Jersey residents.
