Jobbeschreibung

The Role

We are recruiting a Development Underwriter to join an established commercial P&C underwriting team, focused on generating and writing new business across an existing panel of broking partners in Scotland. This is a home-based, market-facing role with a clear new business remit. The regional book and existing broker relationships are already in place, supported by a dedicated service underwriting function - this role is not about managing that book day to day, but about actively growing it through new business production and broker development. You will work within a defined commercial P&C product suite, with delegated underwriting authority to trade SME and mid-market risks. As the business continues its regional growth strategy, you will also be involved in the development of new agency relationships, helping to expand the broking panel alongside your new business underwriting activity.

What You'll Be Doing

• Generating and underwriting new commercial P&C business across an established panel of broking partners in Scotland
• Building strong working relationships with existing broker partners to maximise new business flow
• Identifying and developing opportunities for new agency appointments, supporting the wider regional growth strategy
• Underwriting within delegated authority across the SME and mid-market commercial P&C segment
• Working closely with service underwriters and the wider regional team, who manage the ongoing servicing of the existing book
• Representing the business professionally and consistently across the Scottish broker market

What We’re Looking For

• Self-motivated and comfortable operating in a home-based, field-facing capacity
• You can be based anywhere in Scotland or Cumbria for this role

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £80,000, depending on experience
• Performance-related bonus scheme
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Home-based working across Scotland
• The opportunity to join an established underwriting team as part of a wider regional growth strategy, with involvement in new agency development as the business expands
