Senior Surety Underwriter

Overview

New MGA Entrant | Backed | Low Risk | High Impact

Most underwriters are interested in MGA opportunities…

But very few want to take the risk of joining something that’s underfunded, under-supported, or still “finding its feet”.

This isn’t that.

I’m supporting a new MGA entrant
, that has already:

• Secured rated capacity
• Put full compliance, governance, finance and marketing infrastructure in place
• Been backed by an experienced MGU incubator
• Built a clear, credible underwriting strategy before hiring

This is an embryonic business
, yes — but it’s a proper one. Low execution risk, high opportunity.

The opportunity

This is a remote UK role
, with flexibility on location, focused on building regional Surety business with the backing of a London and international platform.

You’ll be joining at the start — with no legacy book
, no inherited problems, and genuine autonomy to shape the portfolio.

The MGA is looking to expand its regional presence
, and this hire will be central to that growth.

• Building a profitable Construction & Commercial Surety book from day one
• Originating business through established broker relationships
• Underwriting UK regional Surety risks, with scope for more complex and international work
• Acting as a credible market face for the MGA as it launches and grows

This is a producer–underwriter role
. You’ll be trusted to underwrite properly, not chase volume for the sake of it.

• Surety underwriting experience
• Strong UK regional Surety background
• Existing broker relationships and genuine production capability

MGA or delegated authority experience is useful — not essential.

• Low-risk MGA entry
  : capacity secured, infrastructure built, funding in place
• Remote-first
  : location flexible across the UK
• Early-stage influence
  : you will help shape strategy, appetite and growth
• Backed, not hopeful
  : this isn’t someone “having a go”

If you’ve ever thought:

“I like the idea of an MGA… just not the risk”

This is exactly the kind of opportunity worth looking at.

Even if you’re just curious, it’s a sensible conversation to have.
