Responsibilities
Underwriter – Property & Specialty Treaty
📍 London | Hybrid working
Ready to step out of broking and into underwriting?
This is a rare opportunity to move into a growing treaty underwriting team where your voice will genuinely shape the future.
We’re building something exciting — and we’re looking for someone with treaty experience who is keen to take ownership, broaden their remit, and develop into a fully rounded underwriter.
Why this role stands out
✨ A true career transition opportunity
If you’re currently in broking and want to move into underwriting — this team will support that step, not just promise it.
🌱 A blank canvas to build your career
This is a growing team, giving you the space to help shape strategy, influence portfolios, and contribute to new areas of business.
🌍 Scope to think globally
You’ll have the opportunity to work across international markets and explore new lines of business — not just maintain an existing book.
✈️ Travel, exposure, and development
From broker meetings to industry events, you’ll gain real market exposure and the chance to build your network.
🤝 A genuinely collaborative culture
Supportive leadership, openness to ideas, and a team that values different perspectives and ways of thinking.
What you’ll be doing
- Supporting the growth of an international property & specialty treaty portfolio
- Building and maintaining relationships with brokers and cedants
- Reviewing and pricing treaty risks using internal models and data tools
- Contributing to new business strategy and development initiatives
- Supporting marketing activity, client engagement, and market presence
- Using analytics and insight to help shape underwriting decisions
What we’re looking for
- Treaty reinsurance experience (essential) — from broking or underwriting
- A strong interest in moving into (or further developing within) underwriting
- Commercial awareness and an analytical mindset
- Confidence working with data and communicating insights clearly
- Someone who enjoys collaboration but is equally comfortable taking initiative
- A proactive thinker who wants to challenge the status quo and grow
We’re especially keen to hear from people who:
- Are looking to pivot their career from broking into underwriting
- Want more ownership, visibility, and long-term development
- Value an inclusive environment where different perspectives are welcomed
- Are excited by the idea of building something, not just inheriting it
A note on inclusion
We know that not everyone applies unless they meet 100% of the criteria — but we’d still love to hear from you if this role excites you and you bring relevant treaty experience.
