• Become a subject matter expert on the Acturis trading platform and support product development initiatives.

• Support the underwriting quality control framework including external audits and internal peer reviews.
• Act as a lead and mentor for junior underwriters.
• Be a key contributor to the SME Package business top line and profitability metrics.
• Comply with key regulatory, conduct and risk management requirements and responsibilities.

What you'll need to succeed:

• A strong Commercial Underwriting background at Company or MGA / UW Agency level.
• Proven underwriting experience in SME Property and Casualty lines essential.
• Capable of handling commercial underwriting referrals from brokers/MGA’s and junior staff with past experience of handling SME and P & C business preferred.
• Experience in schemes or working with delegated authority partners / MGA’s preferred.
