Niche Casualty Underwriter in City Of London

Job description

This is a rare opportunity for a Casualty Assistant Underwriter or Underwriter to join a newly launched, standalone product line at a leading, innovation-driven specialty insurer with a strong track record of building and scaling niche portfolios.

The product launched in August in the US and Canada, with Australia and the UK next on the roadmap. You’ll be joining a tight-knit team of two, with serious growth ambitions and a critical, meaningful mission: providing essential protection that enables companies, contractors, and non-profits to operate safely and legally.

The role

• Underwrite a standalone, specialty Casualty product, focused initially on the US market.
• Work directly with US wholesale brokers, leveraging existing strong relationships to cross-sell and scale.
• Target a broad range of clients from SMEs to large corporates.
• Collaborate with a leading risk management and prevention partner, adding real value to the product offering
• .Contribute to the ongoing development of the product line, including expansion into new regions and team growth.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in GL, E&O, casualty underwriting, preferably with some US exposure
• Preference would be given to those who have worked on risks for industries where there are vulnerabilities such as the healthcare, social care space
• A commercial mindset with a desire to build something meaningful, not just maintain a portfolio.

Why This Role?

• Huge market potential — demand is growing rapidly with very few markets writing this as standalone.
• Backed by a business with a proven track record in launching high-growth specialty lines.
• Direct access to strong broker relationships, and a product with built-in cross-sell potential.
• The role offers meaningful impact — helping organisations access critical cover that allows them to operate.
• Expect real involvement in shaping the book and the strategy — you’ll be integral to the team’s growth.
