A fantastic opportunity for a New Business focused Property & Casualty underwriter to join a well-established, forward-thinking commercial insurance company in Manchester. This is a great opportunity to be part of a global insurer that is known for investing in its people, empowering decision-making, and putting long-term broker relationships at the heart of its strategy.
This role could suit either someone at Underwriter level currently looking to step up or someone who is already established at Senior Underwriter level looking for a new challenge, depending on the experience you bring. You’ll be working within the mid-market commercial space, underwriting a diverse range of P&C risks, and contributing directly to profitable regional growth. You’ll play a key role in developing strong trading relationships with a range of broker partners, balancing technical excellence with sound commercial judgement.
The work is varied, fast-paced, and collaborative, with plenty of scope to take ownership and influence outcomes.
What sets this company apart is its commitment to underwriting as a profession. You’ll have access to modern underwriting tools, mobile decision support technology, and detailed portfolio insights designed to help you make confident, well-informed decisions. It’s an environment where underwriters are encouraged to think independently, work flexibly, and develop continuously.
You’ll split your time between the Manchester office, broker visits, and working from home. On average, you’ll spend around 60% of your week in the office or out in the market, with flexibility around how you structure the rest of your time. It’s a hybrid model that works well across the team, offering the right balance of collaboration, autonomy, and work-life balance.
We’re keen to hear from individuals with strong technical underwriting skills, commercial awareness, and a clear understanding of the broker market. Experience within a P&C underwriting environment whether from an insurer or an MGA is essential, along with the ability to trade effectively and build strong relationships.
If you’re looking to join a well known Insurer where your work will be valued, your development supported, and your ideas taken seriously, this could be the role for you. Whether you’re currently working at underwriter level or already operating as a senior, this could be the next step you’re looking for.
