Managing general agency for niche insurance programs in emergency services, healthcare, and public sectors
Glatfelter operates as a managing general agency serving over 30,000 community-focused clients through 4,500+ independent brokers. Current hiring focuses on operations, claims, and finance roles while engineering and data teams remain lean—a staffing shape typical of legacy insurance operations now beginning modernization. Active projects span ratemaking modernization, cloud-based integration, and claims analytics, suggesting a shift from manual underwriting and rating processes toward data-driven decision-making.
Glatfelter is a publicly traded managing general agency (MGA) headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, with roughly 500 associates. The company specializes in property and casualty insurance programs tailored to specific sectors: emergency service organizations (the founder's original focus on volunteer firefighters), healthcare and caregiving facilities, religious organizations, and public entities including schools and municipalities. Distribution flows through a network of independent brokers supported by dedicated underwriting, claims, and risk management teams. Services span commercial and personal lines, employee benefits, loss control, and wholesale insurance services.
Primary tools include Juniper and Cisco for networking, Microsoft Teams for collaboration, OnBase for document management, SQL and HTML for data systems, and Office suite (Excel, Word, Acrobat Pro DC) for operations and reporting.
Projects include modernizing ratemaking processes, cloud-based integration, claims analytics platforms, product development, and distribution initiatives. Internal challenges center on portfolio profitability, pricing accuracy, and cross-functional alignment.
