This company is arguably the most exciting insurer in the market right now. We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading organisation, that as a result of impressive growth, is seeking a Senior Underwriter. Our client operates in over 20 countries and is renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation, and formidable customer service.

The role is based within the Renewals team, dealing with a wide variety of Social Welfare risks, thus a chance to be involved with some extremely interesting commercial insurance cases. It is NOT essential that you have previous experience within Social Welfare/Care insurance as full training will be provided. However, you must have extensive underwriting experience encompassing Property and/or Liability.

We will consider applications from both current Senior Underwriters, as well as Commercial Underwriters who are looking to step up into a Senior Underwriter position.

Specific duties will include:

1. Underwriting renewal cases
2. Collaborating with the Claims team
3. Developing and maintaining excellent working relationships with the Technical department and the wider business
4. Providing a first-class service to brokers, prioritising renewals and mid-term adjustments to ensure deadlines are met
5. Getting involved in interesting ad hoc projects and making a real difference

Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work 2 days from home. The team is well-renowned in the industry for their friendly, supportive, and collaborative environment, and there are many sports and social events available, including an incredible annual summer ball!

You'll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative 25% bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which includes substantial pension contributions and financial bonuses for passing CII qualifications.
