    Description

    Gray Insurance Company is a family-owned casualty carrier based in Metairie, Louisiana, with offices across the Gulf South and business in all 50 states. Gray Specialty / Custom Risk is our excess workers' compensation program. We work with organizations that self-insure their workers' comp and want protection against large or catastrophic claims. Each program is built around the client's own retention and risk profile, so every account is a little different, and that's the part we enjoy.

    We're a small, close-knit team. Relationships with our brokers and clients matter here, and so does the way we treat each other.

    • Receive, organize and review new and renewal submissions, including loss runs, payroll and operations information, and follow up with brokers on anything missing.
    • Help prepare quotes, binders and policy documents, and check that terms, retentions and limits match what the underwriter approved.
    • Support broker and client relationships by phone and email, responding to requests quickly and professionally.
    • Track renewal dates, subjectivities and open items so nothing falls through the cracks.
    • Keep accurate files and notes in our operating system, so the team always knows where an account stands.
    • Work closely with other departments.
