This niche MGA is recognised as a market-leader across its chosen disciplines and is renowned for offering innovative solutions and adapting quickly to changes in a fast-paced market.
The company boasts a flat-management structure, headed by a highly respected leadership team and is well-known for employing some of the most talented Underwriters in the market.
Staff in this company find its approach refreshing – entrepreneurial, innovative, and a place where people can really make a difference. The business is enjoying substantial growth and rolling out new products, propositions, and distribution channels as a result. This is an exciting time for Underwriters to join the company, particularly as along with its growth comes great career-development opportunities.
Your primary focus will be to write Liability risks within the Construction sector (predominantly for Roofers & Scaffolders). This is a sector where our client is flourishing (growing 20% year on year) and benefiting from a constantly growing number of broker enquiries. The company already writes a significant amount of business in the South East and, in line with its strategic growth plans, is now looking to capitalise on opportunities within the regions.
Using your technical expertise, you will typically focus on writing new and renewal Liability risks with premiums averaging around £5,000. This is not a sales-style role as a wealth of enquiries are readily available. However, ideally, you will be able to bring new broker relationships to the company (or bolster existing ones), and you’ll be happy to promote Group products in the market. This will include attending meetings, either in person at brokers’ offices or virtually.
This is a remote-based role with a high degree of flexibility; however, you will be required to attend a regional office occasionally to meet colleagues. For those who live closer to a regional office, you are welcome to attend the office more regularly if desired.
It is essential that you have experience underwriting Liability risks, together with strong negotiation skills. Just as importantly, you’ll display a flexible, ‘hands-on’ approach to underwriting while generating good profit and healthy loss ratios across your account. You will also pride yourself on developing your technical skills, keeping abreast of industry developments, as well as any changes to in-house or FCA regulations.
You will receive a salary of up to £60,000 (potentially more for outstanding candidates), plus a highly lucrative bonus and a host of benefits including 4 X DIS, free family travel insurance, and subsidised gym memberships.
