Are you ready to step into a pivotal leadership role where your decisions truly shape the future?

This is a rare opportunity to take on a high-profile underwriting leadership position that sits at the heart of the UK insurance market. Reporting directly into the Managing Director, you'll join the senior leadership team with significant influence over strategy, portfolio performance, and product innovation in the Public and Voluntary Sectors.

Why this role is different:

• Impact at scale - you'll be responsible for a diverse, complex portfolio across multiple lines, supporting organisations that play a vital role in society - from housing associations and charities to local authorities and education providers.
• Authority & expertise - with wide-ranging underwriting authority, you'll be the go-to decision maker for complex cases and portfolio steering.
• Change & innovation - this is not a "business as usual" role. You'll be leading change, improving processes, driving efficiency, and shaping the underwriting strategy of the future.
• Collaboration at the top level - you'll work closely with senior colleagues in Pricing, Claims, Finance, and Distribution, as well as external partners, to ensure market-leading results.
• Leadership legacy - you'll be at the forefront of talent development, building an inclusive, high-performing underwriting team ready for the future.

What we're looking for:

• An experienced underwriting leader with a track record of shaping portfolios and making strategic decisions.
• Someone who can turn technical insight into clear, commercial actions.
• A strong communicator and influencer, confident working with senior stakeholders both internally and externally.
• A leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, embraces change, and has a passion for continuous improvement.

What's on offer:

• A senior leadership platform where your impact is visible across the business and the market.
• A genuinely flexible approach to working - whether you're looking for full-time, part-time, job-share, or hybrid working.
• A highly competitive package including market-leading pension, bonus, private medical, and flexible benefits you can tailor to suit your lifestyle.

If you're ambitious, driven, and ready to take on a role where you can make a real difference, this is the leadership challenge you've been waiting for.
