Existing Property & Casualty Underwriter
Glasgow – Hybrid
Competitive Salary + Bonus & Benefits

Our client is a global brand, with a significant presence across the UK. It is committed to growing and continually developing its Property and Casualty proposition across the UK, specifically within the midmarket / corporate space in Scotland.

Due to the above, they seek an experienced underwriter to join their existing business underwriting division team in Glasgow.

The Role/Team:

In this role, you will be dealing with property and casualty policies across the midmarket / corporate sector. The business has a diverse appetite so can write risks as either combined product or singular with premiums ranging from 10k-50k along with some more complex cases as well.  

You will be part of a team of 13 that has a mixture of experience so will have the opportunity to learn from your peers as well. The team will be supported by senior underwriters and the Underwriting Manager who is based in the Glasgow office.

If you are a technical underwriter who relishes the broker relationship management piece, this will particularly appeal to you.

Required Skills/Experience:

We are looking to speak to individuals who have experience within a similar role with an insurer or from a broker that has DUA. We will look at individuals who have experience working on commercial combined or a singular policy.

What’s in it for you:

What is unique in this opportunity, is the scope to be part of a huge development program within the property and casualty space, and you will have the opportunity to have exposure to some complex renewals.  

In return, you will receive a competitive salary, a potential bonus and a competitive benefits package. You will also be supported in your insurance exams if you wish to take them. The position will be based at their central Glasgow office which will offer hybrid working.

This fast expanding master trust has a perennially healthy pipeline of new work, generally comprising larger and more complex clients.  In response to the changing needs of their operational infrastructure which such volumes inevitably drive, they have created a new senior role leading two key project teams.  The remit of this role spans both implementation / onboarding and specific client projects in the DC administration field.  The jobholder will need to be an experienced manager, preferably a DC specialist, with a record spanning oversight of people, workflow, projects and implementation in an administration environment.  An excellent package is available.     

This is a fantastic opening for a highly experienced Motor Underwriting management professional to join this long established motor specialist insurance group.

Your experience should come from a predominantly commercial motor background with experience within commercial vehicle and fleet, ideally some exposure to haulage and specialisms such as taxi / courier insurance.  You should have already had overall responsibility for P&L, product ownership/development/oversight, extensive pricing / analytics knowledge and technology development as well as having worked at a wider management level.  This could be from a mainstream insurer, MGA, Insurtech – they are flexible with the background./experience!

Although much of this role can be based remotely, travel to offices in the UK will be required a few times a month, predominantly North of England.  This role offers longer term opportunity to be on the board, however starting out you will work alongside the management tier below, but will be actively present in the quarterly board meetings and weekly management / advisory / strategy piece.  Strong succession opportunity for the right individual.

This is an excellent underwriting opportunity for a property underwriter, who has a UK retail background specialising in corporate risks.
This role is an addition due to growth of the division and the major risks book, and requires an underwriter with good knowledge of corporate risks to utilise their expertise to assist with the continual development of the team.

You will be working within the multinational platform, and whilst of course experience of this area is desirable, if you just have UK property experience and experience of underwriting corporate risks, this will be suitable.

Super opportunity to join a large insurance group who are enjoying continual growth within this key underwriting area.
