Development Underwriter

We are delighted to be partnering with this multi-award-winning specialist insurer that is seeking a Development Underwriter within its rapidly growing Care division.

This is an exciting opportunity to join what is arguably one of the most progressive insurers in the market right now and the market-leader in the Care market.

In this remote based role, you’ll be responsible for generating and underwriting new business opportunities, working closely with insurance brokers throughout Scotland to develop profitable relationships and increase the company’s market share.

Whilst specific experience within the Care sector would certainly be welcomed, this is by no means essential. Applications are equally encouraged from commercially-minded New Business Underwriters/ Development Underwriters with experience of underwriting other classes of commercial insurance who are keen to develop a specialism within the Care market. This could perhaps suit a New Business Underwriter who is ready to move into their first client-facing role.

Crucially, you must have a successful track record of writing new business and genuinely enjoy the new business side of underwriting.

You’ll have a strong desire to be highly visible within the broker market, proactively developing relationships, generating enquiries and identifying opportunities to write profitable business. You’ll enjoy getting out to meet brokers, building your network and promoting the company’s proposition, whilst maintaining the underwriting discipline expected of a highly respected specialist insurer.

This company has a truly entrepreneurial approach to underwriting and a genuine appetite to write business. Rather than being constrained by overly rigid processes, its Underwriters are encouraged to think commercially, develop strong relationships with brokers and seek solutions wherever possible.

The company is well-renowned for developing and progressing its people. With the business currently in significant growth mode, there are excellent opportunities for ambitious individuals to take on greater responsibility and progress their careers as the organisation continues to expand.

You’ll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (negotiable, depending on experience), together with a highly lucrative performance-related bonus and an impressive range of market-leading corporate benefits.
