Summary
Imagine stepping into a senior underwriting role where you’re trusted to make the call - no endless chains of approval, no waiting on sign-off. Just you, your market insight, your broker relationships, and the space to do what you do best: write smart, profitable property business. That’s what’s on offer here.
The Role:
This isn’t a desk-bound role. It’s for someone who enjoys being out in the market, engaging brokers, and bringing in new business, as well as handling renewals. The property line is the biggest in the UK portfolio, and the growth ambition is clear. The team also recently signed onto a major market facility, opening the door to new pipelines and larger, more complex risks.
You'll be underwriting UK and multinational property accounts, including large mid-market and corporate clients with premiums in the £4-5m range, so you'll be dealing with substantial, high-value businesses.
And the best part? You’ll have genuine autonomy, a clear framework, and the empowerment to make decisions.
The Team:
You’ll be joining a team of experienced underwriters who genuinely know their stuff, both in property and casualty. They're backed by market-facing colleagues and a supportive business development lead, making it a tight-knit, well-connected unit.
Who this role is perfect for:
You're a confident underwriter with a strong grounding in property, ideally with experience handling large mid-market or corporate clients. You enjoy the buzz of broker engagement, thinking commercially, and having the autonomy to move quickly without constant red tape. If you’ve handled multinational risks, that’s a bonus-but it’s not a dealbreaker.
What’s in it for you:
In return, you will receive a competitive salary, a potential bonus, and a competitive benefits package. You will also be supported in your insurance exams if you wish to take them. The position will be based at their central Birmingham office with 1/2 days in the office.
