About the role:
Following a highly successful first year of trading, 2Vision is entering an exciting new phase of growth as it begins renewing its existing portfolio. To support this evolution, 2Vision is seeking an ambitious, adaptable and highly motivated individual to join our team and play a key role in our continued growth and success.
This position has been created, amongst other things, to oversee and support the growing volume of renewal activity, enabling our New Business Underwriters to remain focused on expanding the portfolio, developing broker relationships and driving the business forward.
About the Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to join a young, dynamic and fast-growing underwriting business at a pivotal stage of its development. Unlike many traditional insurance roles, this position offers exposure far beyond routine administration, providing the successful candidate with direct access to the leadership, strategy and operational mechanics of a growing underwriting business.
You will work alongside a compact team of experienced insurance professionals who collectively possess decades of expertise within the Regional SME insurance market. The small-team environment ensures significant visibility, responsibility and access to mentorship, creating an exceptional platform for personal and professional development.
While the role will initially focus on underwriting support, renewals, management and administration, there is significant scope for progression. As both 2Vision and Acrisure continue to grow, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop rapidly into a broader underwriting role, taking on increased responsibility and becoming an integral part of the future growth of the business.
Candidate Requirements
We are looking for an individual who combines strong technical capability with a proactive and entrepreneurial mindset.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate the following essential requirements:
- Strong organisational and administrative skills with excellent attention to detail.
- High levels of competency in Microsoft tools including Excel, Word and PowerPoint and confidence working with business systems and reporting tools.
- Strong, accurate communication and interpersonal skills, both written and oral.
- Confidence engaging with colleagues, management, brokers and stakeholders via telephone, email and in person.
- A professional, approachable, friendly and results focused attitude.
- The ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver accurate results in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with a practical, open minded, common-sense approach.
- A willingness to learn and develop within an underwriting environment.
Personal Attributes
Success within 2Vision requires more than technical capability alone.
We value individuals who:
- Embrace change and remain agile in a constantly evolving business environment.
- Demonstrate adaptability and resilience when priorities shift.
- Think independently and challenge conventional approaches where improvements can be made.
- Bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to support business growth.
- Take ownership of their responsibilities and actively seek opportunities to contribute beyond their immediate role.
- Possess the confidence to voice suggestions and participate in shaping the future direction of the business.
Why Join 2Vision?
At 2Vision, we actively encourage individuality, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. We believe that success comes from empowering talented people to challenge traditional methods and develop smarter ways of working.
As a growing business, we offer something that many larger organisations often cannot: genuine visibility, accelerated learning, meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to influence outcomes from an early stage in your career.
For the right individual, this is more than an underwriting support role. It is an opportunity to join a business at the beginning of its journey, learn directly from experienced industry professionals, and build a long-term career with significant progression potential as both 2Vision and Acrisure continue to expand.
