This role offers the opportunity to influence risk appetite, support governance, and shape strategy across a diverse property portfolio, without direct line management responsibilities.

* Monitor aggregation and reinsurance exposures
* Provide technical guidance on property risks (e.g., flood, crime)
* Advise on risk selection, pricing, and governance
* Support senior underwriters with property issues
* Drive profitability of the property book (currently £40M GWP, £30B exposure)
* Engage with stakeholders at all levels, from senior leadership to new underwriters
What We’re Looking For:
* Extensive experience in commercial property underwriting
* Strong technical knowledge of commercial property and related products
* Ability to work across underwriting, claims, and delegated authority teams
* Comfortable working independently without direct line management
* Ability to influence underwriting strategy and lead on technical property issues
