Underwriting Manager

Job description

This is a unique and opportunity for an experienced SME Underwriter to step into a leadership role with broader strategic responsibility, supporting the Head of Property & Casualty.

We are seeking an individual who combines strong technical underwriting expertise with a passion for mentoring and developing others. You'll enjoy the technical aspects of underwriting—including pricing, referrals, and portfolio management—while also playing a key role in shaping the future direction of a rapidly growing commercial package underwriting platform.

Working within a large, global specialty insurance group renowned for its innovative approach, you will be involved in:

• Technical underwriting and referral decision-making
• Portfolio and capacity management
• Product development and proposition enhancement
• Distribution strategy and broker relationship management
• Coaching and mentoring less experienced underwriters
• Supporting business growth and underwriting strategy alongside senior leadership

This role offers a unique blend of hands-on underwriting leadership and commercial strategy, making it ideal for someone looking to broaden their influence beyond day-to-day underwriting activities.

The business has ambitious growth plans and a strong track record of investing in its people, providing clear progression opportunities, succession planning, and long-term career development within a highly respected global organisation.
