Job description

We are currently working with an ambitious Insurance company/MGA, who now have an exciting opportunity for someone to join them as a Fleet Underwriting Team Leader in their Romford office.

They have a very low turnover of staff which we feel speaks volumes about the type of organisation they are to work for, with only 4 people leaving the business in the last 10 years and they currently have a strong and close-knit team of 30 in this office.

Their Romford underwriting centre handles a range of Commercial and Personal Lines Insurance products, dealing with Classic Cars, Fleet, Private Car, Private Motorcycles, Classic Motorcycles, Motor Trade, Commercial Vehicles, Agricultural Vehicles, Fleet and Public and Private Hire.

Your role will be to manage their Fleet team, which is currently made up of 5 (plans to take this to 6).

You will ensure the Team communicate effectively and confidently with all broker partners, building strong positive relationships and work closely with Class Underwriters to ensure that changes in Underwriting rules are communicated to the Team in the correct manner. You will also be required to ensure training and development is in place for all team members and work with/cover other Team Leaders in the UW Servicing Department when needed.

To be considered for this role you will need to have at least 1-2 years plus insurance experience gained in a Management or Team Leader role working in an insurance environment, be it at an insurer, broker or MGA .

They are also looking for someone with a stable work history, given their low turnover of staff, stability is huge for them as a business as are decent hard-working individuals!

It s a very consultative vibe here and they are very focussed here on doing things right. No dealing with the public it s all speaking to brokers, and they need someone who is strong at building relationships with excellent man management skills, to drive the team from the front and be a focal point for the less experienced members of the team.

This role is office based 5 days a week, 4 days a week in the office with 1 day a week being able to be worked from home.

Salary to start is up to £38-45,000. There is also a yearly bonus scheme too. Office hours are Monday to Friday 9am-5:30pm with 1 hour for lunch. They also offer a Pension met up to 4%. Parking is also provided at the office.
