Job Description:

Our client launched an MGA in February, with a simple idea: rethink risk and redesign insurance. The group business is an independently owned legal firm that has been operating successfully since then. Entering the MGA space is part of the company's growth strategy.

The MGA platform is supported by a team of experts with extensive technical, innovative, technological, and underwriting expertise. Working with a global insurer and broker partners, they deliver an exceptional customer experience and a variety of specialist business insurance products.

The team aims to differentiate their solutions and provide better value to policyholders, brokers, and insurer partners by combining high-quality insurance coverage with technological innovation, underwriting talent, and excellent service. With capacity, infrastructure, and distribution in place, they now seek a Lead Underwriter / Head of Management Liability / D&O to oversee underwriting strategies for one or multiple insured products, ensuring standards and controls are maintained. You will play a key role in product development, building strong broker relationships to maximize financial results, and establishing yourself as a market trading expert.

You will lead meetings, presentations, and tenders to secure new business, promote the product range, and leverage commercial opportunities. The role involves mentoring and coaching team members, building expertise, and contributing to the growth of the MGA. This is a home-based position with travel to various UK offices as needed, offering a competitive salary, benefits, and a management incentive plan.
