Our client are a large UK wide commercial underwriting insurance group, who are looking for a new SME commercial underwriting leader, with a proven track record of leading and driving a successful portfolio across a national SME platform. Experience of leading a manual trading model towards a digitally focused platform would be of particular interest.
Responsibilities will include:
* Lead the SME underwriting strategy and transformation agenda, balancing innovation with control
* Drive both top-line growth and bottom-line profitability, with some P&L responsibility
* Develop an embed innovative underwriting and pricing approach, aligned to digital and retail-style operating models
* Ensure effective governance frameworks, controls and risk discipline throughout the transformation journey
* Act as the most senior SME underwriter, handling major referrals and signing off key deals, renewals and panel arrangements
* Work closely with central underwriting and pricing teams, product owners and origination stakeholders
* Build and enhance the internal reputation, credibility and influence of the SME underwriting function
* Selective engagement with key distribution partners (external engagement is important but not heavy)
This role will be seen as hybrid, and whilst a couple of days a week is required to be present in the main office hub, with this being a national role, you will have travel commitments to other offices, in addition to continually working with and visiting key distribution panels to continually drive the success of this business specialism.
There is some flexibility in where this role can be based, whether London, South East or the Midlands /further afield.
This is an exciting time to be part of a new initiative which offers significant responsibility and career opportunity.
