Job Description
Commercial Insurance Underwriter – Manchester
Representing a High‑Growth, Forward‑Thinking MGA.
We’re working with a dynamic, growth‑focused MGA that is investing heavily in expanding its Manchester presence. With a strong reputation, a clear strategic vision, and significant backing, they are now looking to bring in ambitious Commercial Underwriters who want to be part of something genuinely exciting.
If you’re looking for more autonomy, more influence, and a real career trajectory, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come around often.
About the MGA
Our client is a specialist MGA known for its agility, technical strength, and commitment to underwriting discipline. They are entering a major growth phase and are now building out a high‑quality underwriting hub in Manchester.
This is a business where underwriters are trusted, empowered, and given the space to make decisions. No red tape. No corporate drag. Just a clear mandate to grow, innovate, and deliver.
The Role
As a Commercial Underwriter, you’ll play a key role in shaping the Manchester operation. This is a hands‑on, growth‑driven position where your technical expertise and commercial mindset will directly influence the success of the hub.
Key Responsibilities:
* Underwrite new and existing commercial business within agreed authority levels
* Build strong broker relationships across the region
* Contribute to the development and growth of the Manchester portfolio
* Work collaboratively with senior leadership to support strategic expansion
* Maintain underwriting discipline while identifying opportunities for profitable growth
What We’re Looking For
* Experience underwriting commercial lines within an MGA or insurer
* Strong broker relationship skills and a commercial mindset
* Ambition, drive, and a desire to be part of a growing, evolving team
* Someone who thrives in a high‑autonomy, entrepreneurial environment
* A career‑minded underwriter who wants progression, influence, and long‑term opportunity
Why This Role Stands Out
* Join at a pivotal moment as the Manchester hub is built
* Genuine progression opportunities as the team scales
* High‑trust environment with real underwriting autonomy
* Direct access to decision‑makers and senior leadership
* A business that rewards initiative, ideas, and performance
If you’re an ambitious underwriter looking for a role where you can grow, influence, and help shape a new regional hub, we’d love to speak with you.
