Avencia Partnership Opportunity
Avencia are partnered with a leading specialty insurer who are looking to recruit a Professional Indemnity Underwriter to join one of the market’s most established and highly regarded PI teams.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a predominantly lead portfolio with an exceptional track record of profitability. The team manages a broad international book across traditional professions, financial institutions, miscellaneous PI and selected construction business, supported by extensive historical data and a disciplined approach to risk selection.
The Role
You will manage both new and renewal business across the PI portfolio, with responsibility for assessing risks, negotiating terms and developing strong broker relationships.
The team operates a broad, non-siloed model, allowing underwriters to gain exposure across multiple PI segments rather than being restricted to one profession or type of business. New business development will be an important part of the role, so you will be encouraged to build your market profile and develop your own broker relationships.
