About the Company
A leading UK insurer is looking for a Development Underwriter to join their regional underwriting team, covering the South. This is a hybrid, field-based role combining regular broker visits with home working and office time.
About the Role
You will play a central part in driving regional growth, forging strong broker partnerships, developing new business through tactical trading, and supporting colleagues with technical underwriting expertise. It suits an experienced commercial underwriter who is equally comfortable building relationships on the road as they are delivering results against a portfolio.
