Underwriting Team Leader

3 months ago


Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom Zurich Insurance Company Ltd. Full time

Location: Southern England – Office Locations – Farnborough & Whiteley

Closing Date: 18th August 2024

The opportunity:

A key managerial role - enabling market teams to succeed in delivering for our customers, planet and people.

The role of an Underwriting Team Leader is to lead, motivate and develop a team of Market Underwriters. Our customers seek a high-quality service and this role in instrumental in creating and managing the delivery of our underwriting, operational and customer plans. Our customers are dynamic, complex and at the leading edge of many of the biggest challenges facing our nation – from supporting net zero transition, facilitating the building of new homes and infrastructure and supporting those most in need in our communities.

This role is ideal if you are seeking a people manager position without losing your technical underwriting skills but is equally suited to someone with strong operational management skills and an underwriting background/experience.

The role will work with a variety of stakeholders across the business – and working closely with the Head of the Market, Central Underwriting Team, Account Management leads, Risk and Claims teams to develop and implement key strategies.

Many of our employees work flexibly in a variety of different ways, including part-time, flexible hours, job share, an element of working from home or compressed hours. This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren't available full-time. Please talk to us at the interview about the flexibility you may need.

What will you be doing?

  • Lead and role model an Underwriting culture of service excellence - striving and exceeding our customer expectations. As part of this you will actively manage delivery of our work states and service against KPI's – escalating issues as required.
  • Working with a mix of Senior and Junior underwriters – inspire, motivate, mentor and develop individuals, including progressing authorities. Achieve outstanding performance through personal leadership style and behaviours.
  • Supporting both the Head of Market and Market Portfolio Lead to develop and implement approaches to ensure we deliver our market strategies and achieve our financial and underwriting plans
  • Maintain an understanding of the metrics and the drivers of performance variances against expectations and use data to influence and advise the team strategy
  • Analysing and interpreting competitor and market insight to determine responses to market conditions and customer demand; how to maintain a trading edge
  • Build strong and lasting relationships within both Underwriting and Sales.
  • Being an active role model – demonstrating the Zurich behaviours

What are we looking for?

  • Underwriting experience – ideally within the commercial or public sector markets
  • A passion for leading and developing our people
  • Ability to coach and influence people at all levels
  • Experience in using data to make informed decisions
  • Evidence of contributing to implementing a short- and long-term strategy to achieve the operational and financial goals
  • Demonstrable experience working within an organisation with strong corporate values
  • The ability to collaborate and constructively challenge across functions for the success of ZM
  • Innovative, enthusiastic and forward-thinking

As an inclusive employer, we want to ensure that all candidates feel comfortable and can perform at their best during the interview. You'll have the opportunity to let us know of any reasonable adjustment or practical support needed when you apply.

Who we are:

At Zurich, we aspire to be one of the most responsible and impactful businesses in the world and the best global insurer. Together we're creating a brighter future for our customers, our people and our planet.

With over 55,000 employees in more than 170 countries, you'll feel the support of being part of a strong and stable company that is a long-standing player in the insurance industry.

We've made a promise to each other and every employee; to focus on sustainable impact, to care about each other's wellbeing, to use our diverse expertise to be curious and optimistic and to develop the skills needed for our future.

If you're interested in working in a dynamic and challenging environment for a company that recognises and rewards your creativity, initiatives and contributions - then Zurich could be just the place for you. Be part of something great.

Our Culture:

We work with our well-being partners and industry experts to provide the best advice and access to a wealth of lifestyle support. We're also committed to continuous improvement and we offer access to a comprehensive range of training and development opportunities.

We're passionate about supporting employees to help others by getting involved in volunteering, charitable and community activity. Our charitable arm, Zurich Community Trust, is one of the longest-established corporate trusts in the UK. In that time, we've awarded grants and volunteered time to deserving causes in the UK valued at over £90 million.

So make a difference. Be challenged. Be inspired. Be supported, Love what you do. Work for us.
