We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a Development Underwriter within its highly successful Financial Lines team.

As Development Underwriter, you’ll be required to source new business opportunities within your region, underwriting Professional and Management risks within your defined underwriting authority. You’ll have a strong desire to be highly visible to brokers, encouraging development meetings and telephone contact. Specific duties will include, but not be limited to:

1. Underwriting individual risks
2. Identifying and securing scheme opportunities
3. Attending networking events
4. Providing input to the Head of Financial Lines reporting on broker activity and new business production

You’ll benefit from working for a company that has a truly entrepreneurial approach to underwriting, and a genuine desire to write business. This is a company that is passionate about sharing success and rewarding its employees for their hard work.

It's essential that you have a successful track record of developing new business within the Financial Lines arena. We will consider candidates from a range of backgrounds such as Professional Indemnity, D&O / Management Liabilities, or Tech (PI). Ideally, you will have experience in a broker-facing role, although we will consider applications from New Business / Trading Underwriters who are ready to step into a broking-facing role. Crucially, you will have a proven ability to win business whilst maintaining underwriting discipline, and as a company ambassador, you will possess first-class communication and client-management skills.

In this role, there are many areas that you could progress into, such as Technical, Leadership, Product Line Management, and much more.

You’ll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (Negotiable, depending on experience), plus a market-leading bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.
