Development Underwriter - High Hazard

We are exclusively partnering with a well-regarded, entrepreneurial MGU that is launching a high hazard proposition and is looking for a Development Underwriter to play a key role in its success from day one.

This isn't a maintenance underwriting role. It's an opportunity to build a portfolio, develop Broker partnerships and become one of the recognised faces in the market behind a new proposition backed by significant underwriting expertise, strong insurer capacity and long-term investment.

The business operates at a high level, combining the agility of an MGA with the infrastructure, underwriting capability and financial strength of a much larger organisation.

In short:

• Be part of a brand-new high hazard proposition from day one
• Significant underwriting authority with the autonomy to trade commercially
• Build your own portfolio rather than simply maintaining an existing account
• Work within an entrepreneurial MGU that values underwriting expertise over process
• Well-funded platform with established infrastructure and long-term backing
• Flexible location with a genuine UK-wide Broker trading remit

The Role

• Develop profitable new business across high hazard commercial risks
• Build and strengthen relationships with UK retail insurance Brokers
• Underwrite and negotiate complex property & casualty risks across the key higher hazard trades
• Become a recognised market presence for the business within your region
• Play a key role in the successful launch and growth of the new underwriting proposition

What We're Looking For

• Development underwriting experience within the UK commercial insurance market
• Strong experience underwriting higher hazard property & casualty risks
• Existing Broker relationships that can generate new business quickly
• Commercially-minded trader who enjoys winning business rather than simply servicing it
• Able to demonstrate a track record of profitable portfolio growth
• Ambitious individual who wants to help build something rather than inherit it

If you currently operate as a specialist within the high hazard space, but feel that your potential is limited by the constraints of your current platform, I welcome a confidential chat to discuss this opportunity further.
