Job description

Are you you an experienced underwriter who is looking for a new challenge or an underwriter who feels they are undervalued, or even a broker who wants to get into underwriting? Do you want to work for an insurer who cares and develops their staff and vary rarely loses them. This role is due to growth and I have placed quite a few people into this business over the past 12 months and they are all really enjoying it.

You will be aligned to a panel of brokers and tasked with proactively developing their account in both new business and renewals. This is also a hybrid role with a mix of office and home working. The classes of business you will deal with will be cross class so having experience in property and casualty would be ideal.
