Delegated Authority Underwriter- Property & Casualty
An exciting opportunity for an experienced Property & Casualty Underwriter to join one of the biggest names in insurance as a Delegated Authority Underwriter working closely with large established Brokers to manage their DA schemes.
This position will be working closely with a mix of national and independent delegated broking partners, reviewing referrals across a broad range of schemes that include both niche programmes and more traditional Property Owners and Commercial Combined business. The portfolio spans SME through to mid-market premium levels, giving you exposure to a diverse and interesting mix of risks. The role has come about due to an internal promotion within the team, offering a clear example of progression opportunities available.
You’ll be responsible for assessing and underwriting referrals typically around 60 to 70 cases per month covering both new business and renewals. Some schemes can be technically complex, so the ability to make clear, well?reasoned decisions within your authority is essential, along with knowing when to escalate.
There’s a strong emphasis on liability underwriting, so solid technical judgement in this area is key, supported by good property experience. The role will also see you maintaining accurate governance records, keeping referral logs up to date, supporting breach reporting, and ensuring your underwriting rationale is clearly documented. Strong relationship?building skills are important, as you’ll be working closely with delegated partners to maintain service standards and contribute positively to ongoing audits and collaboration.
Experienced Property & Casualty Underwriters from both new business and existing business underwriting backgrounds will be considered, provided you a solid grounding in liability with the ability to manage referral volumes effectively.
You will need a number of years underwriting experience and be comfortable handling technically varied schemes. Experience within an insurer is preferred, but strong delegated authority backgrounds will also be considered. This is also a great opportunity for someone looking to step up and take on more responsibility in a supportive environment.
The salary for the role is up to £45,000, potentially up to £50,000. The position is offered on a hybrid basis, with three days per week in the office. Core team days are Monday and Tuesday, with flexibility around the third day.
If you’re looking for a role where your technical judgement is valued, where you can work closely with delegated schemes, and where you can contribute to the future of how delegated business operates, this could be an excellent next step.
