About the Role

Marsh is seeking an experienced Placement Specialist to help expand and formalize an Education vertical within our Umbrella & Excess Casualty placement platform. This role will support complex education accounts and programs, partner closely with client and production teams, and help build repeatable placement strategies and market relationships across the education segment.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute umbrella and excess casualty placements for education clients, including complex and layered programs with tight timelines.
• Develop placement strategy and carrier engagement plans tailored to education risks (higher education, K–12, affiliated entities, etc., as applicable).
• Build and maintain strong relationships with carrier partners and underwriters to drive outcomes on pricing, terms, and capacity.
• Coordinate submission development and underwriting data flow; identify gaps, anticipate underwriter questions, and support a strong risk narrative.
• Support negotiation of coverage terms and structure (limits, attachments, retentions, follow-form vs. standalone considerations, as relevant to the program).
• Partner with client-facing colleagues to deliver a high-quality experience through clear communication, proactive coordination, and strong execution.
• Contribute to building the education placement “platform”: market intelligence, best practices, playbooks, benchmarking, and lessons learned to improve consistency and scalability.
• Help develop and scale our education-specific placement offering (“education tower”), including documenting a repeatable approach and partnering with stakeholders, while maintaining appropriate discretion externally.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of relevant experience in casualty placement, underwriting, broking, or excess/umbrella casualty.
• Strong understanding of excess casualty program structure and placement workflow.
• Demonstrated ability to manage priorities independently and deliver accurate work under time pressure.
• P&C license a must, or ability to obtain.
• Bachelors' degree preferred.

Skills

• Comfortable operating independently
• High-integrity, solutions-oriented approach
