We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a talented Professional Indemnity Underwriter.
This company is well-renowned for providing innovative insurance solutions, using its ingenuity to insure risks that others can’t.
This position has arisen due to the promotion of a Senior Underwriter into a technical line manager role, which is testament to the impressive career progression available within the company due to its continuous growth.
Working within the renewals team of the specialist Financial Lines Division, you’ll be dealing with a wide variety of Professional and Management risks, and wider financial lines risks, including Cyber and Technology risks. This area is experiencing considerable growth for the company and presents a great opportunity to join an established but growing team, which is integral to projects developing the book and improving business operations.
Specific duties will include, but are not limited to:
1. Underwriting large and complex renewal cases.
2. Collaborating with the Claims team.
3. Developing and maintaining excellent working relationships with the Technical department and the wider business.
4. Providing excellent service to brokers, prioritising renewals and mid-term adjustments to ensure deadlines are met.
5. Getting involved in interesting ad hoc projects and making a real difference.
You must have strong experience within the Financial Lines arena, and candidates from a variety of specialisms (such as Professional Indemnity, D&O or Cyber) will be considered. You’ll also have a proven ability to renew business while maintaining underwriting discipline. Excellent written and spoken communication skills and a good track record in building and developing relationships are essential as you’ll be regularly dealing with brokers.
“I really want to stress that this is by no means a ‘dead-end’ senior underwriting role,” says the Director. “We are extremely passionate about developing our staff, and this role has the genuine potential to progress into various areas, such as Product Line Management, General Management, Technical, Compliance, Sales, and more.”
Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work 2 days from home (potentially flexible). The team is well-renowned in the industry for their friendly, supportive, and collaborative environment, with many sports and social events available, including an incredible annual summer ball!
You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative 25% bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, including substantial pension contributions.
