What We're Looking For

- Strong commercial insurance underwriting experience with exposure to larger and more complex risks
- Proven ability to negotiate and trade effectively
- Technical underwriting expertise with a customer-focused approach
- 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
