We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a talented Wordings Specialist. We are happy to consider applications from both current Wordings professionals, as well as technically-focused insurance or legal professionals who are genuinely excited about transitioning into this kind of role. This is a rare situation because this is usually a London based role. However, this insurer is keen to secure someone within the 'regions', in order to be more accessible to their regional offices (Leeds, Manchester or Birmingham). This insurer is arguably the most exciting insurer in the market right now and you will see it regularly in the press; for winning national awards, hiring some of the brightest minds in the industry, and developing new, innovative product lines. This position has arisen as a result of the company's impressive expansion; it is enjoying 20% year on year growth, and is on track to double in size over the next 5 years. Not only is this an opportune time to join the company, this organisation is extremely well-renowned for its culture; many of its staff citing, "this is the best employer I have ever worked for." In fact, it is difficult to find someone in this company who hasn't recently had, or is on track to receive, a promotion. This Contract Wordings role supports this global insurer's UK division. Reporting directly into the Head of Technical Wordings, you will work closely with a team of experienced policy wording drafters, supporting insurance products across the distribution channels of open market, direct to customer and delegated authority. You will have a dotted line into the UK Director of Underwriting, and you'll be expected to work with underwriters and leadership, drawing on the wider International Technical Wordings Team, to deliver wordings support, including on cross divisional projects. Duties will include, but not be limited to, providing reviews and advice on various retail wordings and products, keeping abreast of emerging trends including regulatory, legal and market developments, and providing advice to underwriters to ensure the sharing of technical knowledge and consistency of approach to wordings. In addition, you'll ensure wordings are compliant with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, as well as being involved with ad hoc projects. You will have a broad knowledge of the general insurance market, together with a deep understanding of FCA requirements around policy wordings. In addition, you'll have experience of collaborating with senior stakeholders, and strong project management capability. You'll have excellent analytical and interpretation skills, with strong attention to detail. You'll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.

Roles like this really are few and far between. And what makes this one particularly special, is the fact that it sits within what is arguably the most exciting commercial insurer in the UK market right now. As a result of an internal promotion, this Trainee Business Development Manager opportunity has arisen within the Sales & Distribution team of this highly prestigious insurer. Our client operates in over 20 countries, and is very much renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service. This Trainee BDM opportunity is extremely refreshing because our client is seeking someone who they can mould and nurture, and as such, it is not essential that you have previous experience within an official business development role. In fact, the person who did this role very successfully (before being promoted into a more senior BDM role), came from an underwriting background. You will be responsible for promoting the company's suite of commercial insurance products to a panel of brokers all over the UK. Your duties will include, but certainly not be limited to, making Discovery telephone calls to brokers in order to find out what kind of business they are writing, and which of this insurer's products will be relevant to them. In addition, you'll identify specific risks for which the underwriting team can quote, and then follow the sales process through to the inception of cover. You'll build strong relationships with your broker panel, ensuring that you are at the forefront of their mind when they are looking for quotes, and you will work closely with the regional business development team to ensure that sales objectives are met. Much of your work will be conducted over the telephone, but you will be encouraged to attend some face-to-face broker visits. When it comes to career development opportunities, this opportunity has them in abundance. The previous incumbent was promoted into a more senior BDM role within 12 months and there are many different areas of the business that you could move into down the line. It is absolutely essential that you have previous general insurance experience, either from an insurer or broker background. Ideally, this experience will have included commercial insurance products, although we will consider exceptional candidates from a personal lines / high net worth background. Just as importantly, you will be engaging, inquisitive, and good at spotting opportunities. You'll have superb communication skills, as well as the ability to build strong rapport with brokers. Given the nature of the role, you will enjoy working to targets. Many people who join this company cite, "this is the best place I have ever worked at". It is genuinely difficult to find a company that invests so heavily in its staff because they want them to benefit from "proper careers, where every member of staff has a mentor." Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work 2 days from home. The team are well-renowned in the industry for their friendly, supportive and collaborative environment, and there are lots of sports and social events available, including an incredible annual summer ball! You'll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions and financial bonuses for passing CII qualifications.
