Senior Underwriting Performance Analyst

Job description

About the role

My client is seeking a Senior Underwriting Performance Analyst to play a key role in monitoring and improving underwriting performance across a portfolio of Lloyd’s syndicates. Reporting to the Underwriting Performance Manager, you’ll deliver high‑quality analytical insights, support the Lloyd’s business planning cycle, and contribute to regulatory reporting—helping ensure clients operate within a robust underwriting management framework.

What you’ll do

• Provide analytical insights to support the Underwriting Performance Manager—track performance against plan/KPIs, diagnose variances, and flag risks and opportunities.
• Act as day‑to‑day contact for operational and analytical queries from managed clients and Lloyd’s; prepare materials, track queries, and provide background analysis ahead of meetings.
• Support the Lloyd’s business planning process across a defined portfolio—validate submissions, ensure completeness/accuracy, and align with Lloyd’s requirements; draft narrative components and performance summaries.
• Produce monitoring packs and dashboards for portfolio oversight; collaborate with MI & Analytics to enhance reporting quality, templates, and automation.
• Assist with regulatory underwriting returns to Lloyd’s—ensure data integrity, consistency, and timely submission; liaise with clients to gather inputs and resolve queries.
• Participate in governance forums for the portfolio and, where required, deputise for the Underwriting Performance Manager.
• Contribute to internal projects and working groups related to underwriting performance and Lloyd’s market changes.
• Provide oversight and mentoring to analysts/assistants as needed; share best practices and support technical skill development.

What you’ll bring

• 3+ years’ experience in insurance—ideally in underwriting, actuarial, finance, operations, or related fields.
• Understanding of the Lloyd’s market—how syndicates operate within the market and as part of a managing agency.
• Highly numerate with strong attention to detail—able to deliver precise work to tight deadlines.
• Confident communicator—credible with senior management, clients, and regulators; strong written and verbal skills.
• Organised and proactive—excellent planning skills, able to prioritise and collaborate to meet competing deadlines.
• Sound judgement—comfortable progressing issues independently and knowing when to escalate.
• Growth mindset—eager to learn and develop.
• Tech‑fluent—advanced Excel skills with a natural ability to pick up new systems quickly. (Experience with MI/BI tools is a plus.)
