Job Overview
We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a talented Financial Lines Underwriter.
This insurer is arguably the most exciting insurer in the market right now, regularly featured in the press for winning awards, hiring some of the brightest minds in the industry, and developing new, innovative product lines.
This position has arisen due to the company’s impressive expansion; it is enjoying 20% year-on-year growth and is on track to double in size over the next 5 years.
Joining the company now is a great opportunity, as it is well-renowned for its culture; many staff cite, “this is the best employer I have ever worked for.” It is common for employees to receive promotions.
Responsibilities
Working within the specialist Financial Lines Division, you’ll be responsible for:
1. Underwriting new business enquiries from a wide variety of brokers throughout the UK.
2. Using sound technical and negotiation skills to secure profitable business.
3. Collaborating with the Claims team and maintaining excellent working relationships with the Technical department and the wider business.
4. Getting involved in interesting ad hoc projects and making a real difference.
Much of the business is Professional Indemnity themed, so you must have strong experience within the PI arena. Candidates from various specialisms (such as Professions, Miscellaneous, Tech, Life Sciences, etc.) will be considered. You’ll need excellent communication skills and a good track record of maintaining and developing relationships with brokers.
Benefits
You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, including substantial pension contributions.
Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, and for those who live far from one of the offices, it can be predominantly home-based.
