Job description

Liability Underwriter

Are you ready to take the next step in your underwriting career with a growing, forward-thinking MGA? I’m working on a key project with a partnered client seeking proactive and skilled Liability Underwriters to join their team. They’re also open to a more senior profile stepping in as a Lead Underwriter, so if you're exploring new opportunities in the liability space — let’s talk.

Location: City of London
Salary: Top quartile
Hybrid: Yes

About the Role

You’ll be underwriting new business, renewals, and MTAs across a portfolio of Liability risks. Experience in CAR is advantageous but not essential. The role is all about delivering exceptional service to broker partners while maintaining high technical standards.

This division is in an exciting phase of organic growth, giving you the chance to join at a pivotal time. You’ll have the autonomy to underwrite confidently with the backing of long-standing, trusted binders without micromanagement or constant referrals.

Key Responsibilities

• Underwrite and quote Liability SME risks (CAR experience beneficial but not required)
• Manage new business, renewals, and MTAs within your underwriting authority
• Build and maintain strong relationships with both new and existing brokers
• Negotiate pricing and terms professionally and competitively
• Develop business and maximise cross-selling opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in liability underwriting
• Strong communication, negotiation, and time management skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively

What You’ll Gain

• A dynamic working environment with hybrid flexibility
• A close-knit, supportive team in a successful and expanding business
• Real autonomy and genuine long-term progression prospects

If you’re looking for a role where your underwriting expertise can make a meaningful impact, I’d love to hear from you.
