Property & Casualty New Business Underwriter
Salary Dependent on Experience + Bonus & Benefits
Leeds, Hybrid (2 Days WFH)
Are you a trading-focused Underwriter with the drive to help shape a growing regional underwriting hub? Whether you’re an experienced P&C Underwriter or someone earlier in their career with the ambition to develop into a more senior or development-focused role, this is a standout opportunity. This team has undergone positive change and is entering a period of ambitious growth. With rising average premiums, a focus on larger and more complex risks, and broader engagement across the regional broker market, it’s an exciting time to join.
The Role:
You’ll take ownership of new business across the Yorkshire and Northeast market, working closely with a broad mix of brokers, not just the major global, but strong regional independents too.
The focus is on writing larger commercial cases with exposure to more niche and “edgier” sectors/industries. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys being visible, engaging with brokers face-to-face, and bringing energy to the Leeds office environment.
What You’ll Be Doing:
1. Underwriting and trading mid-market Property & Casualty risks.
2. Building strong relationships with regional brokers and driving new business activity.
3. Getting involved in larger, more complex cases thanks to a flat team structure with excellent support.
4. Contributing to a vibrant, collaborative team culture as the Leeds hub continues to grow.
Who We’re Looking For:
5. A confident, proactive underwriter with a trading mindset.
6. Someone who is comfortable being out with brokers as well as being visible in the office.
7. Open to levels: from developing underwriters ready for progression, through to more experienced individuals.
8. Candidates from related lines or similar areas who want to transition into broader P&C.
What’s on Offer:
9. Competitive salary and benefits (flexible on salary for the right level of experience).
10. A genuinely exciting growth environment with an increasing appetite and bigger cases coming through.
11. Clear progression opportunities within a supportive, well-resourced team.
12. Hybrid Working with 2 days WFH.
