HNW Development Underwriter
Location: Flexible / Hybrid
Salary: Up to £80,000 + Benefits
Type: Full-Time, Permanent
About Us
We are a fast-growing Managing General Agent (MGA) specialising in High Net Worth insurance solutions. Backed by leading capacity partners, we combine underwriting expertise with a genuinely entrepreneurial culture, giving our people real ownership over how the business grows. As we continue to expand our HNW proposition, we're looking for an ambitious Development Underwriter to help drive that growth forward.
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for a talented underwriter to step into a development-focused role at the heart of our High Net Worth division. You'll take ownership of a portfolio of broker relationships, identifying and converting new business opportunities while nurturing existing partnerships to build a profitable, sustainable book of HNW business.
You'll work closely with senior underwriters and the wider distribution team, playing a key role in shaping our HNW strategy, pricing approach, and broker proposition as the business scales.
Key Responsibilities
- Underwrite new business and renewals across a High Net Worth household portfolio, exercising sound technical judgement within agreed authority limits
- Build, develop, and manage a panel of broker relationships, acting as a trusted point of contact and technical resource
- Proactively identify new business opportunities and drive profitable growth across your allocated territory or panel
- Conduct broker visits, training sessions, and presentations to strengthen relationships and promote the HNW proposition
- Assess risk quality, pricing, terms, and conditions in line with underwriting appetite and referral guidelines
- Monitor portfolio performance, providing MI and insight to support strategic decision-making
- Support the development of new products, wordings, and pricing initiatives alongside senior underwriting colleagues
- Ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements, underwriting standards, and internal governance
