Pedigree;
When it comes to MGAs, this one is a purebred – owned by a global broking giant, with capacity provided by one of the largest composite insurers in the world, it’s little wonder it can offer a ‘best-in-class’ service to its discerning clientele. Already commanding a significant portion of the Agricultural / Farm insurance market, this dynamic business is committing considerable resource (financial and otherwise) to increase its market share further.

• In this varied role, you will be dealing with both renewal and new business, with clients coming from its own broking business as well as third-party brokers. This role can be home-based at any location across the UK, and you will be allocated a panel of brokers in your area.
• You will be dealing with a variety of bespoke products geared to the Agricultural market, such as Farm Combined, Property, Liability, and specialist products.
• As an Agricultural Development Underwriter, you’ll dive into a diverse array of underwriting activities and broker development. You’ll be at the forefront of executing the company strategy, playing a pivotal role in achieving its financial goals, while delivering exceptional customer service.
• Your expertise will shine as you manage key Agricultural broker accounts, ensuring they receive top-notch service and support.
• Contributing to and implementing underwriting strategy across all products, aligning with established risk appetite.
• Underwrite profitable new and renewal business, both remotely and whilst attending brokers’ offices.
• Directly impact financial KPIs by balancing revenue growth with underwriting profitability.
• Uphold service standards on all authorised products, ensuring Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) is woven into your approach at all times.
• Analyse distribution trends and broker behaviours to inform future strategies.
• Build meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships with inhouse and 3rd party brokers.
• Manage quality assurance and peer reviews to identify opportunities for underwriting and product improvements.
• Keep abreast of market trends and developments in your industry segments, building strong relationships with capacity partners.

• We are keen to hear from Development Underwriters or Farm Underwriters who enjoy trading, as well as Agricultural Insurance Brokers who are keen to move over to an MGA environment.
• Knowledge of Agricultural insurance and understanding of the unique risks faced by those who live and work in the countryside.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to effectively manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Good numeracy and IT skills, with strong organizational and task-management abilities.

In return, you will receive a generous basic salary, bonus and a comprehensive benefits package that includes a market-leading pension arrangement. As this is a highly visible role, your successes will be obvious to the Senior Management Team, and you will have opportunities for progression in the short, medium and long-term.
