Senior Underwriter

Salary: £80,000 - £100,000
We’re partnering with an ambitious and well-backed new MGA who are looking to grow their team with the launch of new lines of business.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a business-facing underwriting role with a clear pathway to progress to Head of Product.
The Opportunity
This isn't just a traditional “desk underwriting” role. This is the perfect position designed for someone who:
- Knows their specialist area of underwriting inside-out
- Enjoys being out in the market building relationships
- Can represent a growing MGA with credibility to brokers and capacity providers
You’ll work closely with the Head of Underwriting, helping to shape broker strategy, drive profitable growth, and play a key role in scaling the business.
What You’ll Be Doing
Broker & Market Relationship Development
- Build and manage key relationships with brokers
- Identify and onboard profitable books of business
- Conduct regular broker meetings and market engagement
- Drive a clear and consistent underwriting appetite
