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 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.

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:

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.
4. Getting involved in interesting ad hoc projects.

You must have strong experience within the Financial Lines arena, and candidates from a variety of specialisms (such as Professional Indemnity, D&O / Management Liabilities, or Tech (PI)) will be considered. Excellent communication skills and a good track record of maintaining and developing relationships are essential.

“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.”

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 citing, “this is the best employer I have ever worked for.”

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!
