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 recognized 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.
Not only is this an opportune time to join the company, but this organization is also extremely well-renowned for its culture; many of its staff cite, “this is the best employer I have ever worked for.” In fact, it is difficult to find someone in this company who hasn’t recently had, or is on track to receive, a promotion.
Key Responsibilities
Working within the specialist Financial Lines Division, you’ll be underwriting new business enquiries from a wide variety of brokers throughout the UK, using your sound technical and negotiation skills to secure profitable business.
1. Underwriting a variety of commercial cases across various product lines
2. Collaborating with the Claims team
3. Developing and maintaining excellent working relationships with the Technical department and the wider business
4. Getting involved in interesting ad hoc projects
Qualifications
Much of the business is Professional Indemnity themed, and so you must have strong experience within the PI arena. Candidates from a variety of specialisms (such as the Professions, Miscellaneous, Tech, Life Sciences etc.) will be considered. As you’ll be regularly dealing with brokers, you’ll need excellent communication skills, along with a good track record of maintaining and developing relationships.
Compensation
You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.
Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, and for those who live far away from one of the offices, it can be predominantly home-based.
