Pedigree; When it comes to MGAs, this one is a purebred – owned by a global broking giant, with capacity provided by one of the largest composite insurers in the world, it’s little wonder it can offer a ‘best in class’ service to its clientele.

Already commanding a significant portion of the market, especially within the Golf niche, this dynamic business is committing considerable resources to increase its market share further, with a focus on football and rugby clubs, among others.

Here, you will deal with renewal and new business cases, with clients from both its own broking business and third-party brokers. You will handle bespoke products geared to the Sports market, such as Commercial Combined, Property, Liability, and Specialist products.

Duties will include:

• Managing and maintaining relationships with regional brokers, colleagues, and clients across the UK.
• Identifying opportunities to offer solutions to existing clients/brokers by evaluating the applicant's situation and circumstances and determining insurance risk.
• Working within your delegated underwriting authority to underwrite both new and existing business.
• Communicating effectively with senior staff to ensure clarity and positive relationships.
• Prioritizing clients and customers by working within SLAs and ensuring high service levels.
• Liaising with brokers and colleagues to increase profitable relationships, both virtually and in person.
• Issuing insurance policies by calculating premium rates and negotiating terms with regional brokers.

Ideally, you will have a commercial underwriting background, with exposure to golf or miscellaneous sports insurance. Applications from outstanding Commercial Underwriters (Commercial Combined/Property/Casualty) with a passion for sports are welcome. We also seek technically-gifted Brokers with experience in delegated authority schemes. Importantly, we are looking for an Underwriter who is NOT focused on auto-rated business.

You must be highly numerate, with excellent IT skills. You should also have excellent stakeholder-management skills and enjoy working towards shared goals.

This is a hybrid role, with in-office presence a couple of days a week. Outstanding candidates with relevant sector knowledge may have the flexibility to work remotely full-time.

Along with a generous salary, you will receive a flexible benefits package, including a market-leading pension arrangement that triples your contributions.
