Job Description:

This is an opportunity to join a continually growing underwriting platform within the credit and political risks space. With an established team already in place, they are looking for another experienced underwriting professional to complement the team. The division has a diverse financial risks specialism and is looking for someone who is keen to work across the division including all areas within financial risks, such as non-payment insurance, structured risk, and trade credit. If you have a particular specialism in this area, you could bring this knowledge along with diversifying across a wider remit.

Opportunities to travel and work globally, offering an excellent chance to learn and develop from key specialists within this remit.

If you have a minimum of 4 years in credit risk but haven't reached underwriter status yet, they will also consider advanced Assistant Underwriters at this level seeking a break.
