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. You are welcome to attend a regional office as much as you like!

This company is well-renowned for providing innovative insurance solutions, insuring risks that others can’t.

This position has arisen due to 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.

This is an opportune time to join the company, which is extremely well-renowned for its culture; many staff cite, “this is the best employer I have ever worked for.”

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 listens to and implements employees’ ideas and suggestions, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in interesting ad hoc projects and make a real difference.

You must have strong experience within the Professional Indemnity arena, and candidates from a variety of specialisms (such as Professions, Miscellaneous, Tech, Life Sciences etc.) will be considered. You’ll need excellent communication skills and a good track record of maintaining and developing relationships.

“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 genuine potential to progress into various areas, such as Product Line Management, General Management, Technical, Compliance, Sales, and more.”

You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative 25% bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, including substantial pension contributions. While 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!
