### **About the Role**

We're hiring an **Underwriter** to own risk selection and pricing decisions across our book. You'll bring sharp judgment, deep technical knowledge, and the commercial instincts to balance growth with profitability. This is a hands-on role with real ownership in a fast-moving insurance business.

### **What You'll Do**

•   Assess, price, and bind risks in line with underwriting guidelines and appetite.

•   Review submissions, analyze exposures, and make clear accept/decline/refer decisions.

•   Draft, review, and refine policy wordings, endorsements, and coverage terms.

•   Work closely with brokers and distribution partners to structure deals.

•   Feed insights back into pricing models, guidelines, and product development.

•   Monitor performance of bound business and flag emerging trends.

### **What We're Looking For**

•   2–3+ years of underwriting experience at a traditional carrier, MGA, or Lloyd's syndicate.

•   Strong technical grounding in pricing, risk selection, and policy wording.

•   Exposure to multiple product lines rather than a single narrow specialism.

•   Comfortable interpreting actuarial outputs and applying them commercially.

•   Excellent judgment under uncertainty and willingness to own decisions.

•   Willing and able to work from our office six days per week.

### **Bonus Points**

•   Portfolio underwriter background: experience underwriting at the portfolio level rather than purely case-by-case.

•   Demonstrated experience across multiple product lines (e.g. property, casualty, financial lines, specialty).

•   CII qualifications or progress toward ACII.

•   Experience working with delegated authority arrangements or building underwriting guidelines from scratch.

### **Compensation & Benefits**

•   Base salary of £50,000–£80,000, depending on experience.

•   Equity options.

•   Direct ownership of a critical function in a high-growth insurance business.
