Your Role:

We’re seeking a forward-thinking and commercially astute Contingency Underwriter to join our growing Specialty team. This newly created role offers a unique opportunity to underwrite high-profile and non-standard risks across entertainment, sports, and media - while helping elevate Apollo’s presence in the Lloyd’s market and beyond.

You’ll be based at the box in Lloyd’s, trading transactional business face-to-face, with opportunities to travel to continue to strengthen broker and client relationships.

What you’ll do:

• Underwrite and price a diverse portfolio of contingency risks, including event cancellation, non-appearance, prize indemnity, and media production.
• Craft bespoke insurance solutions in collaboration with brokers and clients.
• Leverage data insights and expert judgment to assess complex exposures.
• Monitor market trends and emerging risks to shape underwriting strategy.
• Collaborate with claims, actuarial, and legal teams to ensure robust risk management and policy wording.
• Represent Apollo at industry events and build strong, lasting relationships across the market.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience in contingency underwriting or a related specialty line within Lloyd’s or the wider insurance market.
• Strong commercial acumen and the ability to assess and price bespoke, complex risks.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with confidence in client-facing roles.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
• Familiarity with Lloyd’s market operations and regulatory frameworks.
• A collaborative, solutions-focused approach with a passion for innovation.
• Professional qualifications such as ACII (or working towards) are advantageous.
• A creative thinker who can navigate ambiguity and tailor solutions to unique client needs.
