Pedigree: When it comes to MGAs, this one is a purebred – owned by a global broking giant, with capacity provided by one of the largest composite insurers in the world. It can offer a ‘best in class’ service to its discerning clientele.
Already commanding a significant portion of the Agricultural / Farm insurance market, this dynamic business is investing considerable resources to increase its market share further.
In this varied role, you will handle both renewal and new business, with clients from the company’s own broking business and third-party brokers across the UK. You will work with bespoke products tailored to the Agricultural market, such as Farm Combined, Property, Liability, and other specialist products.
Key duties include:
1. Managing and maintaining relationships with regional brokers, colleagues, and clients across the UK.
2. Identifying opportunities to offer solutions to existing clients and brokers by assessing applicant situations and determining insurance risks.
3. Underwriting profitable business within your delegated authority.

5. Providing excellent customer service by adhering to SLAs and maintaining high service standards.
6. Liaising with brokers and colleagues to foster profitable relationships, both virtually and face-to-face.
7. Issuing insurance policies by calculating premiums and negotiating terms with brokers.
Ideal candidates will have experience in Agricultural underwriting, particularly with Farm Combined business. We also welcome applications from outstanding Commercial Underwriters interested in the Agricultural sector, or technically skilled Brokers who have underwritten via delegated authority or schemes.
You should be highly numerate, possess excellent IT skills, and have strong stakeholder management abilities. A team player who enjoys working towards shared goals and contributing ideas for business growth is preferred.
This role offers flexibility, with options for hybrid working across multiple office locations or predominantly home-based arrangements for experienced Agricultural Underwriters willing to visit an office monthly.
