This is a rare opportunity for an Assistant Underwriter to join the Leeds branch of this specialist insurer, which is experiencing an exciting period of growth. Our client is major player in the UK insurance market, writing circa £100M GWP across a range of specialist products. This is a varied role, where you will be involved with some fascinating risks within the Leisure sector. Duties will include, but not be limited to, answering technical queries from brokers and agreeing appropriate premiums for risks, analysing large volumes of data to understand trends and patterns, and identifying any changes that might be necessary to deliver required underwriting returns. You will also have involvement in the preparation and delivery of scheme renewals and the presentation of underwriting results. In addition, you will help to develop and maintain excellent working relationships with the company's existing and potential new partner networks. It is essential that you have some previous insurance experience, ideally within an underwriting environment (whether this is from an insurer / MGA, or on a delegated authority basis within a broker). Having said that, we will also consider Underwriters from a wider financial services underwriting background (such as Mortgage / Equity Release Underwriters). Just as importantly, you must have excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), with the ability to work to tight deadlines whilst displaying a high level of attention to detail. You must also be numerate and have good IT skills - particularly the ability to work with Microsoft Office products and internal systems. You must be willing to study for professional insurance qualifications, for which study support will be offered. You'll enjoy working in a very friendly and supportive team, which likes to celebrate its ongoing successes and achievements. Because the company is growing so rapidly, Underwriters are able to progress with their underwriting licenses much faster than in many competing firms, and as a result, fantastic careers progression is available here. The company offers a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work from home 3 days a week, although you are of course welcome to work in the office as much as you like. You will be rewarded with a basic salary of between £25K - £33K (Negotiable, depending on experience), plus pension, free insurance, annual bonus, and support with professional qualifications.
