We’re looking for an experienced Technology Underwriter to become our first dedicated regional underwriter for the UK Technology team, with a focus on developing new business across the Northern UK regional broker market.

You will be involved in all aspects of underwriting and have ownership of building broker relationships, identifying new opportunities and developing a profitable portfolio in the region, while working closely with our established Technology and Distribution teams.

You’ll underwrite progressive technology businesses, from ambitious start-ups to established firms, using CFC’s cross-class proposition across Technology E&O, Cyber, Public and Products Liability, Employers’ Liability and Property. As technology and its risks continue to evolve, you’ll stay close to the market, identify emerging opportunities and help brokers find solutions for their clients

The role is remote-based, ideally based in either Leeds or Manchester, with regular regional broker travel and touchpoints at CFC’s London office at 8 Bishopsgate.

About the role

• Build and manage a strong regional pipeline of profitable new and renewal Technology business.

• A track record of building broker relationships and developing new business in the UK market.
