Are you looking for more than just another underwriting role?
This is an opportunity to join one of the most respected global insurance organisations, investing heavily in the continued growth of its Marine & Energy Liability portfolio.
With an ambitious strategic plan, strong financial backing and exceptional leadership, you'll become part of a collaborative team that is genuinely building for the future. You'll have the autonomy to make underwriting decisions, influence strategy and help shape the next phase of growth within an already well-established and highly regarded business.
If you're someone who thrives on building strong broker relationships, enjoys writing profitable business, and wants the opportunity to genuinely influence the direction of a growing portfolio, this is well worth exploring. Opportunities to join a team at this stage of its growth journey are few and far between.
Working closely with an experienced Portfolio Manager, you'll work the Marine & Energy Liability portfolio across the London Market, Lloyd's, International and UK business. This is a visible role where you'll play a key part in both the day-to-day underwriting and the wider strategic direction of the portfolio.
You'll be joining a business where underwriting excellence, collaboration and long-term thinking are genuinely valued.
  • Underwriting Marine & Energy Liability risks within delegated authority while delivering profitable growth.
  • Developing and expanding relationships with key London Market brokers and international stakeholders.
  • Identifying new business opportunities and helping grow an already successful portfolio.
  • Structuring bespoke insurance solutions and providing technical underwriting expertise.
  • Contributing to product development and portfolio strategy.
  • Working closely with Claims, Pricing, Reinsurance and Risk functions to maximise portfolio performance.
  • Supporting business planning, portfolio reporting and underwriting performance analysis.
  • Helping mentor colleagues and sharing technical expertise across the team.
  • Playing an active role in shaping underwriting strategy and future growth initiatives.
You will already be an established Marine & Energy Liability Underwriter with strong London Market experience and a commercial approach to underwriting.
We're particularly interested in individuals who bring:
  • Proven London Market underwriting experience within Marine & Energy Liability.
  • Strong broker relationships and excellent market presence.
  • Technical underwriting expertise with a focus on profitable growth.
  • Commercial judgement and confidence in making underwriting decisions.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • A collaborative approach with the ambition to contribute beyond your own portfolio.
