Senior Commercial Underwriter
Location: Birmingham (hybrid working)
Salary: Competitive Basic Salary + Bonus + Benefits
IPS Group is working with a well-established insurance business to recruit a Senior Underwriter to join a growing and successful renewals underwriting team.
The business has experienced strong growth, with GWP doubling over the past 7 years, driving continued expansion across the underwriting teams. The underwriting approach is focused on disciplined risk selection, supporting strong renewal retention and a stable, high-quality portfolio.
This is an open market, broker-traded role, working with both national and independent brokers. The role offers exposure to a broad mix of sectors, including care, heritage, real estate, professions, and faith, among others. Underwriters will manage a varied and diverse book rather than being restricted to a single niche. Premiums typically range from £5k to £k, with responsibility for around 10 renewals per month alongside account management of larger and more complex cases.
There is also a market-facing element to the role, including broker meetings and occasional site visits alongside surveyors. Broker development activity is encouraged, with an expectation of approximately 12 broker visits per year.
The role would suit individuals with experience in open market underwriting who are confident in managing complex cases and engaging directly with brokers. Exposure to training or desk-based underwriting would be beneficial, along with a strong commercial mindset.
The role is based in Birmingham, with 3 days per week in the office.
