London, United Kingdom Simply Business Full time

**We’re Simply Business**

We insure small businesses and enable big dreams - not just for our customers, but for our people and communities too. With over 1,000,000 active insurance policies, we protect builders, bakers, landlords, and more than 1,000 other trades.

We harness cutting-edge data ability, believe in experimentation, and build our own technology to deliver better experiences for our customers and employees. This means we’re as much a technology company as one that sells insurance. We build, we fail, we learn, we improve. We’re a B Corp too, which recognises our strong track record of having a positive impact on people, society and the environment.

If Simply Business sounds like the kind of place you’ll thrive, we’d love to hear from you

We're looking for an Underwriter to join the MGA team in London.

**Here's what you'll be doing**:

- become a key part of the MGA team - our internal insurer within Simply Business
- join our team of underwriters, analysts, and pricing specialists
- support the management of a portfolio of 300,000 customers and £75m gross written premium (GWP) across our landlord and small and medium-sized business owner segments
- end-to-end exposure to the full insurance business
- a broad range of other responsibilities to support the team's growing ambitions

**We're looking for someone who is**:

- experienced in underwriting (3+ years), ideally commercial lines business
- proven in portfolio management
- experienced in building new products - launching on new distribution channels is desirable but not essential
- able to bring an analytical and data-driven approach to technical underwriting
- happy to assist and train junior colleagues
- a natural innovator that can bring ideas to drive growth and improve efficiency
- comfortable making decisions - you’ll have underwriting authority
- a strong communicator, able to simplify complex ideas for others

**A few more details about the role**:

- you'll understand and drive improved portfolio performance, supporting the performance of the book
- you'll own and deliver large internal projects with a strong will to make things happen and get stuff done
- you'll drive our high-performing team culture while coaching and training junior members
- you'll make sure all our regulatory requirements are met, making sure our products provide good value to our customers
- you'll support our audit and peer review process to make sure our high standards are maintained
- you'll contribute to the case referral process from our contact centre technical team, making sure it’s well managed
- you'll own and manage internal and external relationships with key stakeholders while building strong and credible relationships with key contacts

**Our culture is inclusive and diverse**

**We Embrace Individuality **We value what’s important to each and every SBer. Whether that be providing access to cutting edge wellbeing support, or being part of one of our many diversity networks and communities. We also take personal development seriously - we’re all about enabling big dreams.

**We Trust Who We Hire **We empower SBers with choice and flexibility to make the right decisions based on the needs of their roles and we’ve been working this way long before Covid19.
- There’s no one-size-fits all solution when it comes to how often we get together in person, so all of our people and teams find the rhythm that suits them best when it comes to working from home or hub.

**We’re innovative **We've created a place for people to be curious, experience new things, and bring unique ideas to the table. If you want to learn how we do all this - head over to our Careers page where you’ll see us walk the talk

Our mission is to make Simply Business synonymous with fairness, belonging and inclusivity. We won’t be happy until we’ve created a truly inclusive culture - where every employee, whatever their background, role, or location, feels comfortable being their authentic self at work.

We all have a part to play - to learn more, to do more and to go further - in building this new reality that’ll be befitting of the diversity of the customers we serve. At Simply Business, we’re all in.

**What are the benefits?**

At Simply Business, our benefits let you balance life and work properly:

- **remote working **- more of us are currently working remotely than usual, but longer-term you can balance working remotely with working in the office, giving you the opportunity to connect with colleagues
- **mental health and wellbeing resources **- we take your wellbeing seriously, giving you access to counselling (through our Employee Assistance Programme) as well as technology to support your mental health (through the Unmind app)
- **paid sabbatical **- two weeks off
