Help shape the future of a prestigious, international insurer

You're an expert in Fine Art and Specie, whether it's safeguarding priceless paintings, rare collectibles, or high-value assets in transit.

Over the years, you've built a strong, loyal network of brokers across the UK and Europe, and your portfolio speaks to your deep knowledge of both the product and the people.

If you're open to a move, you're likely not just just looking for a marginal pay increase, you want the full package:

A highly respected insurer with a solid reputation

Flexibility around home working

Strong financial backing and a stable, future-focused business (no plans to sell or be acquired)

If that sounds of interest, this opportunity could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

This is your chance to be part of something more than just underwriting policies: you’ll help shape a market presence from the ground up, with a firm who have very strong international relationships.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Underwrite high-value risks across fine art, collectibles, jewellery, bullion, and cash-in-transit
• Play a pivotal role in growing the UK domestic portfolio, writing on local paper and forging key broker relationships
• Act as a brand ambassador, attending art fairs, vault tours, exhibitions, and industry events to expand your reach and strengthen client partnerships
• Work closely with an experienced, collaborative team that values your expertise and trusts your decision-making
• Influence strategy and bring your vision to life in a space where you’ll truly own your impact

What You Bring

• A proven track record as a Fine Art & Specie underwriter with a robust network and a reputation for delivering
• A passion for this niche market and a real understanding of what brokers and clients value most
• Strategic thinking, commercial acumen, and a hands-on approach to growing business
• A desire to work with autonomy, influence outcomes, and be a key part of something long-term

What’s on Offer

• A very attractive salary/package, joining a firm who are known to be strong payers
• Generous bonus and/or commission structure
