Job Description:

Earn up to 7-figure bonus building your marine cargo portfolio, team, and strategy, with full access to deal directly with international brokers—no reliance on London wholesalers!

Are you currently at a large syndicate or corporate insurer and seeking more control and better financial rewards?

Build your own portfolio and team from the ground up, working directly with top international brokers. No wholesalers, no middlemen. The incentive?

A genuine opportunity to earn over £1 million in dividends within 3-5 years (NDA required for details).

Breaking away from your current marine cargo insurer or syndicate is challenging unless you find a better underwriting platform.

This is your chance to build something impactful and meaningful, outside the corporate institutions and large syndicates.

This isn't just another MGA building a marine cargo program; it's a firm that is truly different, with a compelling story and clear vision that resonates in the market.

Already generating £20 million in premiums, with a powerful network across the UK, US, and Australia, supported by top-tier infrastructure and dedicated underwriting support.

The senior leadership is hands-on, committed to reinvesting for growth, not just quick profits.

Role Overview:

With a strong inland marine and property foundation, this business is ready to scale its international marine cargo offering. They want you to lead this effort.

Collaborate to secure capacity, build direct broker partnerships worldwide using their existing network, and develop strategies to grow the global marine cargo book.

Travel, influence, and leadership opportunities are available as you build your team.

Compensation includes a competitive base salary up to £200k, plus a 33% profit share and potential significant payouts upon achieving key targets.

Ideal Candidate:

This role suits you if you're a #1 or #2 Marine Cargo Underwriter in a corporate environment, feeling restricted by business limitations or waiting for wholesalers.

Dealing directly with international brokers allows you to develop stronger relationships and earn larger commissions.
