The Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for an Underwriter to join our Transactional Liability team based in our London office, with flexibility for some remote work.
QBE’s European Operations Transactional Liability team is recognised for its strong, hands-on experience in Warranty & Indemnity (W&I). Our superior products and services minimise risk, allowing for efforts to be focused on more critical responsibilities, like securing the deal.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for day-to-day tasks such as evaluating broker submissions, preparing quotes, and assisting the team with underwriting a broad spectrum of W&I risks.

At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.
We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.
What if you could have a positive impact – at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.
Your new role
- Underwrite business in accordance with the business plan and within our UK and European business.
- Perform underwriting activities in accordance with all legal and regulatory requirements to ensure obligations are met.
- Contribute to the recording and measurement of insurance risks to ensure accuracy and good practice.
- Maintain and develop relationships with stakeholders including customers, brokers, business partners and colleagues, to increase exposure in the market.
- Develop knowledge of market dynamics and market cycles to be able to support business performance.
- Underwrite insurance risks to meet business objectives including negotiating rates, terms and conditions for existing and new business, ensuring production and issue of contract certainty documentation and supporting credit control in payment collection.
- Support the review and analysis of the portfolio to identify progress towards business objectives.
