New Opportunity | Specialty Development Underwriter

I'm currently working on an exciting opportunity with a growing insurance business looking to appoint a Specialty Development Underwriter. The role will focus on developing new business, strengthening broker relationships and supporting growth across a broad commercial underwriting proposition.

The opportunity:

  • Develop and manage a book of new business
  • Build and strengthen relationships with key insurance brokers
  • Conduct broker visits and underwriting surgeries
  • Underwrite new business across the agreed appetite
  • Act as a key referral point for the wider underwriting team
  • Work closely with Business Development and Technical Underwriting
  • Opportunity to have real influence across a growing team

We're looking for:

  • 5+ years' commercial underwriting experience
  • Strong Property and/or Casualty background
  • Established broker relationships and a genuine commercial mindset
  • Strong communication and influencing skills
  • Someone who is comfortable working autonomously and taking ownership

Competitive salary + bonus + benefits.

If you're an experienced commercial underwriter and open to hearing more, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
