Senior Underwriter - Commercial MGA Location: Alderley Edge Salary: Up to £70,000
This role is for someone who wants to help build something, not just underwrite within an existing framework.
You would be joining a newly launched, tech-led MGA at a pivotal stage. The foundations are already in place, including A-rated binders across Property, Liability, and PI, along with a stable revenue base from established specialist niches.
The next phase is about building and scaling a serious commercial underwriting proposition, and this role sits right at the centre of that.
You will work closely with the CUO as his right hand and play a key role in shaping how the MGA develops.
What You'll Be Walking Into
This is not a traditional underwriting role inside a large insurer. You are being given genuine autonomy.
You will help build commercial products from the ground up, develop wordings, decide how risks are approached, and determine which brokers the business partners with. You will have a direct influence on growing the book from around £2m towards £6m and beyond, and you will clearly see the impact of your decisions.
The leadership team brings strong pedigree and deep market experience. Decisions are made quickly, ideas are welcomed, and good underwriting is prioritised over unnecessary process.
You will also act as the senior technical referral point as the underwriting team grows, supporting less experienced underwriters and maintaining underwriting discipline.
This role suits someone who is already operating at a senior level and wants to move closer to the heart of a growing business, with influence and long-term upside.

What's On Offer
