Job description

Senior Specialty Underwriter – Warranty & Assistance (EU Markets)

Remote within the EU or hybrid options depending on location

About the Role

We’re looking for a commercially minded underwriter with a flair for business development to help grow our EU warranty and assistance portfolio.

You’ll play a key role in shaping our strategy across multiple product lines — from warranty and embedded protection to home and roadside assistance — while developing new broker and distribution relationships across the UK and EU.

This is a rare opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, expanding business backed by a global insurance group. The role offers genuine autonomy, flexible working (remote from UK or Ireland), and the chance to make a measurable impact.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and grow an EU-facing underwriting portfolio across scalable, profitable segments.
• Originate, structure, and underwrite warranty and assistance business lines including:

• Phones, gadgets, and consumer electronics
• Electrical goods and small domestic appliances
• Scratch, dent & alloy cover
• Home and roadside assistance

Embedded and opt-in warranty solutions

• Build and maintain strong broker, MGA, and distribution relationships across the UK and EU.
• Collaborate with senior leadership on strategy, product development, and pricing.
• Leverage your existing network and expertise to drive premium growth and new opportunities.

About You

• 5+ years’ experience in warranty, assistance, or specialty underwriting, ideally within an MGA or carrier environment.
• Solid technical understanding with a proven ability to originate and underwrite profitable schemes.
• Strong broker and intermediary network, with experience managing and developing accounts.
• Entrepreneurial, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing environment.
• Equally happy negotiating a deal, refining a product, or shaping a growth plan.

What’s on Offer

• A pivotal role in shaping and expanding our EU warranty & assistance footprint.
• Full flexibility — work remotely from anywhere in the UK or Ireland, with travel as needed.
• Competitive package with strong bonus potential.
• A collaborative, ambitious team culture where initiative is valued and rewarded.
