RB Jones Global Solutions is entering an exciting phase of growth and is looking for credit underwriting professionals to help build and scale its credit insurance platform.
This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in establishing a new book — from individual risk selection and pricing through to shaping the broader portfolio as it grows. You’ll be working across both underwriting and broker relationships, with real visibility and responsibility from day one.
We’re looking for individuals with strong credit instincts who are comfortable taking ownership and want to be part of a small, focused team building something over time. If you’re interested in a role with scope, accountability, and the chance to contribute directly to a growing platform, we’d be keen to connect.
Duties and Key Responsibilities
- Support the underwriting of credit insurance risks through detailed financial and credit analysis of obligors, sectors, and portfolios
- Assist in the day-to-day management of the credit insurance book, including policy administration, endorsements, and renewals
- Evaluate risk exposures, monitor limits, and provide recommendations in line with underwriting guidelines and risk appetite
- Liaise with brokers, clients, and internal stakeholders to obtain necessary information and ensure efficient processing of transactions
- Maintain accurate underwriting records and ensure compliance with internal policies, regulatory requirements, and audit standards
- Contribute to portfolio monitoring by tracking performance, identifying trends, and flagging potential areas of concern
- Assist with underwriting reporting, including preparation of management information, portfolio summaries, and exposure analysis
- Build and maintain strong relationships with brokers and clients to support retention and new business opportunities
- Continuously develop technical underwriting knowledge, market awareness, and understanding of industry trends
