Summary
Underwriting Team Leader
Location: Manchester (Hybrid Working)
Competitive Salary + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Permanent | Full-Time
IPS Group is working with a global insurer to recruit an experienced and people-focused Underwriting Operations Manager for their Manchester office. This is an excellent opportunity to step into a key leadership role within a well-established and collaborative underwriting team.
This role offers a unique balance of team leadership and operational oversight. You’ll lead a team of 10 underwriters working across Cargo, Freight, and Engineering lines, guiding their development, supporting technical delivery, and managing the day-to-day workflow and office coordination. While experience in these specific lines is helpful, it’s not essential.
You'll act as both a mentor and the central point of contact in the Manchester office, supporting team performance, distributing workloads, implementing new processes, and fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture. You’ll also work closely with the Head of Operations on wider business initiatives, projects, and process improvements. Your ability to balance the strategic and the practical will be key to your success in this role.
We’re looking for someone with proven people management or supervisory experience, whether formal or informal, who leads with empathy, communicates clearly, and enjoys supporting others to reach their potential. We’re keen to hear from individuals with broader insurance or broking experience who bring strong people management skills and operational awareness.
In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary, a potential bonus and a comprehensive benefits package. Support will also be provided if you wish to pursue professional insurance qualifications.
To learn more about the role and overall package, apply today or get in touch.
