Job description

Have you considered moving to the MGA side, but the uncertainty around securing capacity has stopped you making the move?

This is a rare opportunity to join a privately owned (non PE backed) MGA and Wholesale Broker as a Senior Habitational Property Underwriter with scope to grow the book/team

This is joining a firm who are already securing capacity for a new Northeast US Property programme, meaning you'll be able to make an impact straight away. You'll have meaningful ownership of underwriting strategy, risk selection, pricing and portfolio development

In essence, you'll lead, have the opportunity to work with senior leadership and be able to make a genuine impact within a growing independent business.

We are looking for someone who knows the Northeast property market.

Someone with established broker relationships.

And, importantly, someone who is a self-starter and would value working in a smaller, nimble environment where you have access to senior leadership and have an actual voice in the business

The opportunity

• New Northeast US Property programme launching imminently
• Capacity currently being secured
• Opportunity to build the portfolio from the ground up
• Significant underwriting responsibility and ownership
• Strong focus on broker relationships and distribution
• Join an MGA actively investing in new underwriting verticals
• $160k - $200k base + package + bonus. Equity potentially on offer for senior, high impact individuals
• Remote working on offer

The wider business is already demonstrating what happens when the right people are given the platform to build.

One of their existing verticals was started from scratch earlier this year and is already tracking towards a $15m GWP book, with further underwriting hires being made.

There is no PE fund dictating the five-year plan. The business is independently backed, allowing the leadership team to make decisions around talent, capacity and growth based on what makes sense for the business.

If you're an experienced Property Underwriter with Northeast expertise, established distribution and the appetite to build something rather than simply manage something, this could be worth a conversation.

Even better, there will be no long wait to obtain capacity.
