Commercial Marine Trades Underwriter

A growing, entrepreneurial Marine Insurance business with an established Marine platform and strong capacity behind it is now looking to appoint an experienced Marine Trades Underwriter to take ownership of its Marine Trades binder and help shape the next phase of growth.

The opportunity is to help build the Marine Trades proposition, develop the broker distribution strategy and work closely with senior leadership to grow the portfolio in a controlled and sustainable way.

You will work with UK based Brokers but be given the opportunity to develop business with wider, European players.

The role will be heavily wholesale/broker facing, with a focus on:

• Developing relationships with retail and wholesale brokers
• Driving quality Marine Trades submissions into the binder
• Owning the underwriting strategy and appetite
• Maintaining strong underwriting discipline and loss ratios
• Working closely with senior leadership across both the underwriting and broking sides of the business

The capacity is there and the ambition is there.

And perhaps the biggest attraction

The business operates fully remotely so lots of flexibility on offer. A negotiable salary and package on offer which includes a bonus structure to incentive new business growth.

So if you're an experienced Marine Trades Underwriter who wants more autonomy, more influence and the opportunity to help build a growing MGA proposition, this could be worth a conversation.

We are still able to consider experienced UK Underwriters across other classes of business, as long as you have strong broker connectivity, have an interest in specializing in marine insurance and enjoy operating in a production/broker facing role.

I'm deliberately keeping some of the detail around the existing book, growth targets and remuneration private at this stage, but happy to share more with interesting individuals
