If successful, as Senior Scheme Underwriter, you will produce group risk quotations and make sound and skilful underwriting decisions for new and existing schemes within agreed authority limits and in line with the Zurich Corporate Risk underwriting philosophy.
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.

- Confirm risk on new schemes and acceptance of retest terms on existing schemes.
- Keep up to date with scheme underwriting philosophy considering experience and market conditions.
- Provide a standout service experience for customers and stakeholders.
- Contribute to a positive and supportive team culture (role model behaviour).
- Take responsibility for delivering quality and timely output to our customers through taking ownership of own workload and supporting colleagues to deliver our team workload.
- Use best practice to boost effectiveness and efficiency of our processes.
Who are we looking for?
Ideally, you will have:
- Extensive experience in underwriting Group Risk schemes with superior knowledge of the group risk market and products
- Innovative thinking and ability to challenge processes and decisions, with good judgement and decision-making skills
- Attention to detail and ability to think on your feet, with flexibility to cope with varying workloads and pressures
- Verbal and written communication skills, as well as organisation and time-management abilities
- Computer literate with good knowledge of Excel
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.

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:
At Zurich, our sense of community is strong and we're particularly passionate about diversity and inclusion, which we've won numerous awards for. We want our people to bring the whole of themselves to work and ensure everybody is made to feel welcome, regardless of their background, beliefs, or culture.
