• Using delegated authority to approve cases for yourself and colleagues
• Working closely with brokers, resellers and internal teams to deliver excellent service levels

• Building strong, professional relationships with clients and stakeholders
• Keeping your technical knowledge current, including changes in law and market trends
• Contributing ideas around underwriting strategy, product enhancements and process improvements
• Supporting testing and development of underwriting platforms and systems

What we're looking for

• At least 4 years' experience underwriting legal indemnity insurance
• OR a strong background within a legal indemnity broker or legal practice (conveyancing or private client), looking to move into underwriting
• Deep understanding of defective title risks and/or estate administration & probate insurance
• Strong analytical and decision-making skills
• Confident communicator who enjoys working collaboratively
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a genuine "can-do" attitude

The culture

This is a business that values expertise, accountability and teamwork. You'll be supported to develop, encouraged to share ideas and trusted to get on with the job. Continuous professional development is actively encouraged, and your contribution will be visible and valued.
