* Maintain effective working relationships with internal and external stakeholders
* Contribute to the development and execution of underwriting strategies
Ideal Candidate Profile:
* Proven experience in A&H or a strong background in another commercial underwriting line
* Leadership experience is desirable, but not essential
* Strong interest and capability in leading and developing a small team
* Excellent decision-making, analytical, and communication skills
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
What’s on Offer:
* Opportunity to step into a leadership role with support and structured development
* Collaborative and innovative team environment
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* Hybrid working model
If you're a technically strong underwriter with the ambition to lead, this is your chance to grow your career in a forward-thinking, supportive business.
