Underwriter, Insurance

Are you looking to join a growing team within a supportive environment?

If so, then come and join the Aon Underwriting Managers team that offers the flexibility to work both virtually and from our Redhill office!

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.

As an organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

AUM undertakes underwriting and claims handling services on behalf of insurers and delivers expertise in specific product ranges or trade sectors. AUM focuses on commercial insurance products across Accident and Health, Property and Casualty, Financial Lines and Marine sectors.

AUM fulfils many of the roles of an insurance company - underwrites (evaluates the risks and exposures of potential clients against the insurance covers), prices (determines the premium that is charged to insure that risk), issues policies, mid-term adjustments and renewals and on some facilities, manages the claims handling and settlement. AUM has an in-depth understanding of the diverse range of solutions that we offer and our insurance products are specially designed and unique to Aon.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

• To underwrite major classes of business for public sector risks – predominantly Motor Property and Liability.
• To build excellent working relationships with supporting insurers
• To deliver excellent service to our clients and their broker
• To help build awareness and trust in Maven Public Sector internally and with Local Authorities, Police and Fire Authorities and their Broker consultants.
• To assist the Maven Public Sector team in meeting annual financial business targets.
• To assist in product development
• Responsible for working in accordance with the Aon UK Limited Risk Management Framework, and compliance with the Aon UK Limited policies, including participation in the management of risks (including completion of mandatory training) that may adversely affect the business, interests or reputation of any Group Company.
• Engage expertise within Aon and externally to help develop product and risk management solutions suitable for public sector clients.

In this role, you will assist with the underwriting of complex public sector Casualty, Property, and Motor risks under delegated authority, collaborating closely with a Senior Underwriter. You will engage with Aon National, third-party brokers, and clients to enhance the Maven Public Sector product and expand capacity offerings for public sector clientele.

As an Underwriter your skills and qualifications will ideally include:

• Some underwriting experience required although this does not have to be specific to the public sector.
• Keen interest in public sector and a desire to underwrite in this niche area which is quite different from the commercial market
• Building Business Relationships – Experience of proactively developing and maintaining effective internal and external relationships to facilitate the achievement of agreed goals.
• Commercial Awareness - demonstrating business sense, possessing and using knowledge of the organisation and external market to identify potential risks, problems and opportunities
• Planning & Organising - setting priorities; formulating a method or course of action for self and /or others to follow to achieve desired outcome and timelines
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Organised individual who seeks challenges in a fast-moving environment
