Senior Commercial Development Underwriter
Location: London
Working Pattern: Hybrid (3 days in office)
Employment Type: Permanent
Full Time | Salary: £80,000 per annum +
Role Overview
Lawes are currently working with a leading MGA who due to expansion have an exciting opportunity offering flexibility, autonomy, home-based working, and genuine career progression.
If you are an experienced commercial development underwriter who thrives on building and strengthening broker relationships while delivering exceptional service, this one should be on your radar.
Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll take ownership of an established key broker panel, make confident underwriting decisions, and act as a trusted partner to brokers across London and the South East. You’ll enjoy the freedom of a home-based setup while working closely with a management team that genuinely values your input.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
