We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a talented Financial Lines Underwriter.

This position has arisen as a result of the company’s impressive expansion; it is enjoying 20% year on year growth and is on track to double in size over the next 5 years.

Working within the specialist Financial Lines Division, you’ll be underwriting new business enquiries from a wide variety of brokers throughout the UK, using your sound technical and negotiation skills to secure profitable business.

Specific duties will include, but not be limited to:

1. Underwriting a variety of commercial cases across various product lines.
2. Collaborating with the Claims team.
3. Developing and maintaining excellent working relationships with the Technical department and the wider business.

Much of the business is Professional Indemnity themed, and so you must have strong experience within the PI arena. Candidates from a variety of specialisms (such as the Professions, Miscellaneous, Tech, Life Sciences etc.) will be considered. You’ll have excellent communication skills, together with a good track record of maintaining and developing relationships.

You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.

Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, and for those who live far away from one of the offices, it can be predominantly home-based.
