Director of Underwriting

Director of Underwriting

London 

Hybrid, two days in office 

Permanent / full-time 

We are a fast-growing global reinsurance speciality company servicing the insurance markets of Lloyd’s, Europe and North America.

This year, we started building out our prospective insurance capability. Reporting to the Managing Director of Underwriting, this brand-new opportunity will suit a hands-on underwriting leader to help shape and execute our next phase of growth.

This is a deal-focused role in a fast-paced environment. You’ll lead the underwriting and execution of reinsurance transactions — working closely with brokers, clients, actuaries, lawyers and internal stakeholders to get transactions structured, negotiated and closed.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to the detail: structuring deals, negotiating contracts, managing advisers and driving transactions through to completion. You’ll play a key role in building relationships across the market and helping grow our prospective business in a practical, delivery-focused way.

• Right to work in this location
• Strong experience underwriting and structuring reinsurance and/or M&A transactions
• Deep understanding of the P&C market and structured deals
• Confidence negotiating with brokers and clients
• Solid financial and analytical capability (modelling and valuation experience preferred)
• Ability to manage multiple transactions under tight timelines 
• Contributing positively to our culture and values.
