This company is arguably the most exciting insurer in the market right now.

We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading organisation, that as a result of impressive growth, is seeking an experienced New Business Commercial Underwriter.

Our client operates in over 20 countries, and is very much renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service.

Not only does the company provide crucial financial protection to a diverse range of customers, it also provides its employees with some of the most attractive career development opportunities in the market.

Many people who join this company cite, “this is the best place I have ever worked at”. It is genuinely difficult to find a company that invests so heavily in its staff because they want them to benefit from “proper careers, where every member of staff has a mentor.”

The role is based within a specialist team that deals with a wide variety of Social Welfare, Care, Not For Profit and Charity policies. As this company is very much a market-leader within these areas, it is a chance to be involved with some extremely interesting insurance cases.

It is NOT essential that you have previous experience within Social Welfare / Care / Charity insurance as full training will be provided. However, you must have extensive underwriting experience encompassing Property And /OR Liability / Commercial Combined.

You will be working alongside the sales team, who will generate you new business cases to underwrite. Using your proven technical underwriting and negotiation skills, you will ensure that maximum take-up is achieved from the broker panel.

It is essential that you enjoy underwriting new business, and that you enjoy working to targets. Just as importantly, you’ll be engaging, solutions-focused, and you’ll genuinely enjoy building and managing relationships.

Being a growing business that very much listens to, and implements employees’ great ideas and suggestions, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in some really interesting ad hoc projects and make a real difference.

“I really want to stress that this is NOT a ‘dead-end’ underwriting role”, says the Director. “We are extremely passionate about developing our staff, and this role has the genuine potential to progress into a number of different areas, such as General Management, Technical, Compliance, Sales and more.” When Aston Charles visited their offices recently, it was difficult to find someone who hadn’t recently had, or was soon about to have, a promotion!

Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work 2 days from home. The team are well-renowned in the industry for their friendly, supportive and collaborative environment, and there are lots of sports and social events available, including an incredible annual summer ball!

You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which includes substantial pension contributions.
