Job description: _Location: In-office, 6 days per week_ _Compensation: £50,000–£80,000 + equity_ ### **About the Role** We're hiring an **Underwriter** to own risk selection and pricing decisions across our book. You'll bring sharp judgment, deep technical knowledge, and the commercial instincts to balance growth with profitability. This is a hands-on role with real ownership in a fast-moving insurance business. ### **What You'll Do** • Assess, price, and bind risks in line with underwriting guidelines and appetite. • Review submissions, analyze exposures, and make clear accept/decline/refer decisions. • Draft, review, and refine policy wordings, endorsements, and coverage terms. • Work closely with brokers and distribution partners to structure deals. • Feed insights back into pricing models, guidelines, and product development. • Monitor performance of bound business and flag emerging trends. ### **What We're Looking For** • 2–3+ years of underwriting experience at a traditional carrier, MGA, or Lloyd's syndicate. • Strong technical grounding in pricing, risk selection, and policy wording. • Exposure to multiple product lines rather than a single narrow specialism. • Comfortable interpreting actuarial outputs and applying them commercially. • Excellent judgment under uncertainty and willingness to own decisions. • Willing and able to work from our office six days per week. ### **Bonus Points** • Portfolio underwriter background: experience underwriting at the portfolio level rather than purely case-by-case. • Demonstrated experience across multiple product lines (e.g. property, casualty, financial lines, specialty). • CII qualifications or progress toward ACII. • Experience working with delegated authority arrangements or building underwriting guidelines from scratch. ### **Compensation & Benefits** • Base salary of £50,000–£80,000, depending on experience. • Equity options. • Direct ownership of a critical function in a high-growth insurance business.
