Job Overview

We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a talented Senior Professional Indemnity Underwriter. This role can be fully-home-based, although there will be occasional face-to-face team meetings required in a regional office.

This company is well-renowned for providing innovative insurance solutions and uses its ingenuity to insure risks that others can’t. This position has arisen as a result of 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 organisation is extremely well-renowned for its culture; many of its staff cite, “this is the best employer I have ever worked for.”

Key Responsibilities

Working within the specialist Financial Lines Division, you’ll be underwriting incoming new business enquiries from a wide variety of brokers throughout the UK, using your sound technical and negotiation skills to secure profitable business. Specific duties will include, but not be 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

Being a growing business that very much listens to and implements employees’ great ideas and suggestions, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in some really interesting ad hoc projects and make a real difference.

Qualifications

You must have strong experience within the Professional Indemnity arena, and 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 have excellent communication skills, together with a good track record of maintaining and developing relationships.

Career Development

“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 a number of different areas, such as Product Line Management, General Management, Technical, Compliance, Sales, and more.”

Compensation

You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative 25% bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions. Whilst this role can be fully-remote, you will always be welcome to work in one of our client’s offices as much as you like!
