Working within an experienced team, this role is suited for those wanting autonomy to develop and underwrite their own book of business, while playing an integral part in the growth of the PI portfolio.


The role involves working within underwriting parameters and authority levels to foster new and existing broker relationships by delivering high-quality underwriting and servicing for both renewal and new business. As part of a fast-growing MGA, we are focused on delivering tailored solutions to SME and mid-market companies.


This position will involve working closely with the leadership team to implement strategic goals and drive profitable growth. Additionally, you will support the development of junior underwriters and contribute to product development in line with company objectives.


Responsibilities:

  • Underwriting & Risk Assessment - Underwrite and negotiate PI accounts, ensuring consistency with the quality of risk, aligned with the company’s strategy, and within individual underwriting authority.

  • Compliance - Ensure all underwriting activity complies with relevant legislation, underwriting agreements, and industry best practices.


  • Market Awareness - Stay informed about market conditions, especially in the SME and mid-market segments for Professional Indemnity.


  • Strategic Contribution - Work with the leadership team to support the development and execution of the strategic business plan for the PI portfolio. Actively seek out new markets and opportunities for growth, providing recommendations for expansion where appropriate. In addition, take a leadership role in identifying new business pipelines and managing broker portfolios.


  • Team Leadership & Development - Provide guidance, mentorship, and technical support to junior underwriters, assisting in their professional development. Act as a referral point for complex cases, offering support and advice to the underwriting team. Assist in the development of underwriting processes and best practices to improve team efficiency and consistency.


  • Compliance & Risk Management - Ensure all underwriting activities are conducted in compliance with FCA regulations and other relevant legislation. Maintain accurate and up-to-date underwriting documentation and ensure adherence to internal risk management practices.


Experience:

  • 5+ years of underwriting experience in Professional Indemnity, with a proven track record in managing complex risks.
  • Experience working with SME and mid-market companies.
  • Leadership experience or experience in mentoring and developing junior underwriters is preferred.
  • Strong relationships with key brokers, with a proven ability to source new business and manage a portfolio effectively.
