Running a farm or ranch has always involved a lot of risks. But these days, rapid changes in the industry are raising the stakes. Advanced technologies and new environmental concerns are pushing farming and ranching in new directions. But no matter how much things change, one thing never will : Great American's AgriBusiness Division's commitment to keeping farmers and ranchers strong with effective insurance coverage.

The AgriBusiness Division has been helping farmers and ranchers manage the uncertainties of doing business as far back as 1886. Today, the division provides coverage for full-time farms, ranches, and other agricultural operations in 44 states. The farm products can cover businesses that range from fruit and vegetable farms to livestock operations and the equine farm products cover a wide range of risks ranging from monoline property and liability, care custody or control to umbrella and auto.

We are looking for a Senior Underwriting Manager to join our AgriBusiness division in either our Cincinnati, OH or our Ocala, FL office. Training will be fully in person, with the opportunity to work a hybrid schedule after training is completed.
