Location: Midlands & South-West region

The opportunity:

In the role of Senior Technical Underwriter – Property, you will utilize your technical knowledge and analytical skills to support growth and improvements in our regional and national portfolio. Reporting to the Regional Underwriting Leader, you will collaborate with local underwriting & sales teams to meet strategic objectives, serve our customers, and strengthen relationships with broker partners and internal stakeholders.

Organizational skills, the ability to prioritize, and meeting deadlines are also essential.

We will ensure you feel part of our busy, friendly team from day one.

We promise to focus on sustainable impact, care for each other's wellbeing, leverage diverse expertise with curiosity and optimism, and develop skills for the future.

If you enjoy working in a dynamic, challenging environment and want to be recognized and rewarded for your contributions, Zurich could be the right place for you. Join us and be part of something great.
