Lead Underwriter - Specialty Lines

Lead Underwriter - Specialty Lines

London

£150,000 - £300,000 + opportunity to buy equity

An MGA in its infancy, is looking to accelerate its growth plans this year and add new underwriting cells to its current offering. Target lines include Professional Indemnity, Directors and Officers, Financial Institutions, Cyber and Med Mal insurance.

This ambitious business is combining underwriting expertise, innovative technology and an ownership-led culture to create a genuinely different proposition in the market. This is an opportunity to become part of a business that empowers underwriters to make decisions, drive growth and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of their portfolio.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
An Ownership Mindset

The business has created a culture where employees share in the success they help create. Every employee holds equity in the parent company, aligning individual performance with long-term business growth. Many members of the team have also invested personally in the business, reflecting the confidence they have in its future.

Technology That Gives Underwriters an Edge

The company has developed its own underwriting platform, designed to simplify processes and enhance the underwriting experience. The technology enables complex risks to be quoted and bound in under a minute, allowing underwriters to spend more time focused on trading, broker engagement and portfolio development.

A Modern Way of Working

Built around a digital-first philosophy, the business operates with a lean and collaborative structure. Without layers of bureaucracy, employees are empowered to make decisions quickly, contribute ideas and directly influence outcomes across the organisation.

The Role

As a Specialty/ Financial Lines Lead Underwriter Underwriter, you will be responsible for underwriting and developing a portfolio of UK/ international/ US business in PI/ D&O/ FI/ Cyber/ Med Mal or associates lines. You will work closely with brokers and clients, helping to identify opportunities, assess complex risks and deliver profitable growth. You will also contribute to the ongoing development of underwriting strategy and portfolio management initiatives.

About You

• Experience underwriting PI, D&O or Cyber business within the Company, Lloyd's or London Market environment.
• Strong analytical and technical underwriting skills.
• Ability to build and maintain effective broker relationships
• Commercially minded with a focus on profitable growth.
• Comfortable operating in a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment.
• Motivated by the opportunity to make a visible impact within a growing organisation.

This is a rare opportunity for a Specialty/ Financial Lines Underwriter seeking a role that offers more than just technical underwriting - a chance to join a business where innovation, ownership and ambition are embedded in the culture and where your contribution can directly influence future success.
