What We're Looking For

- Proven ability to negotiate and trade effectively

- Experience supporting, coaching or mentoring colleagues
- Progression towards, or attainment of, higher underwriting authority levels
- ACII qualified or working towards qualifications would be advantageous

What's on Offer?

- A high-profile role with significant autonomy and influence
- Exposure to complex commercial accounts and strategic portfolios
- Career progression within a highly respected insurer
