Job Description

About the Washington FAIR Plan

The Washington FAIR Plan serves as the state's safety net for essential dwelling and commercial property insurance. It provides coverage for high-risk properties that are otherwise uninsurable. The organization is small but growing rapidly. This is a unique leadership opportunity for a seasoned professional who is ready to oversee a dynamic organization important to the state's insurance landscape.

Position Overview

As the Executive Director, you will guide the Washington FAIR Plan in fulfilling its mission to provide residual property insurance in compliance with Washington Administrative Code Chapter 284-19. Reporting directly to the Governing Committee (Board), you will serve as the strategic and operational leader, setting objectives, defining processes, and driving success.

This role offers a rare chance to make a significant impact in a multifaceted environment. You will lead a small and dedicated team while being deeply involved in every aspect of the organization's operations - underwriting, claims, human resources, IT, finance, government relations, and more. You will also act as the primary liaison with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, ensuring compliance and fostering strong relationships.

Why This Role?

  • Mission-Driven Impact : Make a tangible difference in protecting Washington residents who are unable to obtain property insurance elsewhere.
  • Leadership Autonomy : Drive strategic initiatives while managing a small, high-performing team.
  • Comprehensive Scope : Gain hands-on experience across the full spectrum of insurance operations.
  • Hybrid Work Flexibility : Balance in-office collaboration with remote productivity.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute strategic plans to meet organizational goals.
  • Manage all aspects of the association's operations, including underwriting, claims, budget oversight, and vendor relationships.
  • Ensure compliance with state regulations and maintain strong partnerships with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
  • Act as the public face of the organization, interacting with government entities, legislators, and the media.
  • Oversee the implementation of a new policy system, partnering with staff and IT consultants.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a collaborative, strategic, and hands-on leader who thrives in a role requiring both high-level vision and operational excellence.

Qualifications :

  • Minimum of 10 years of progressive leadership experience in the property and casualty insurance industry.
  • Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
  • Industry certifications (e.g., CPCU, AIM) are highly preferred.

Key Skills :

  • Proven leadership with a track record of accomplishing goals.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of underwriting and claims processes.
  • Strategic business planning expertise.
  • Experience navigating complex regulatory landscapes and engaging with governmental and industry stakeholders.
  • Comfort with oversight of project management for implementation of comprehensive IT system for the Washington FAIR Plan.

Your Next Steps

Are you ready to take on a challenging yet rewarding role that combines strategic vision, operational leadership, and meaningful impact? If so, we encourage you to apply and join the Washington FAIR Plan as its next Executive Director.
