Senior Underwriter​/French Market

A global transactional risk insurer is seeking to appoint a Senior Underwriter to focus on the French and French-speaking market. This is a rare opportunity to join a top-tier brand with the balance sheet strength and underwriting authority to deploy capacity into the billions, supporting complex, high-value cross-border M&A transactions.

The successful candidate will combine technical excellence with commercial judgement. You will be confident (or eventually be) analysing SPAs and due diligence reports, leading underwriting calls, negotiating policy wording and managing broker and client relationships at senior levels. The platform offers genuine underwriting authority, global deal flow and the ability to work on some of the most significant transactions in the market.

We are interested in speaking with an experienced transactional risk underwriter currently operating in the French market, with a strong network across PE and advisory communities; or a top-tier French-qualified M&A lawyer (ideally from an international firm) seeking to transition into underwriting and open to relocating to London.
