Lead

Fancy leading a schemes team that's already firing, with the freedom to make it yours?

This is a genuine "build it your way" opportunity inside a global insurer that's growing fast and backing its people. If you've led schemes, underwriting, trading or broker teams and want real ownership, this one's worth a chat.

What you'll actually do

  • Set and drive the Commercial Schemes strategy and trading plan.
  • Build, coach and grow a high-performing schemes team.
  • Deepen broker relationships and hunt out new, profitable growth.
  • Own portfolio performance, governance and underwriting discipline.
  • Turn data, broker insight and market trends into smart commercial decisions.
  • Partner across underwriting, pricing, claims and distribution to win.

Who you are

  • You've led a commercial insurance, schemes, underwriting, trading or broker-facing team.
  • You know how to grow business without sacrificing underwriting quality.
  • You're commercially sharp, confident with stakeholders and comfortable leading change.
  • You use MI and portfolio data to spot opportunities and fix what's not working.
  • Cert/Dip/ACII is a nice-to-have, not a dealbreaker.

What's in it for you

  • Circa £90,000 base, plus a strong performance bonus.
  • Fully remote working.
  • 27 days' holiday + bank holidays, with buy/sell flexibility.
  • 7.5% employer pension contribution, matched up to 12% with your input.
  • Private medical, 24/7 Virtual GP, health checks and real wellbeing support.

If you're ready to step into a role where your decisions directly shape the business, let's talk.
