Delegated Authority Underwriter

Do you have an insurance background and/or experience in the Lloyds of London Market? Do you have a passion for Underwriting and want to Underwrite the market's leading multi-line facility? Aon Client Treaty (ACT) is AUM’s flagship facility and writes 19 different lines of business from Property to Marine to D&O and Product Recall.

A role in the Underwriting team will give a junior Underwriter the opportunity to write 19 lines, gaining invaluable experience that is unique in the market, building relationships with a wide variety of broking teams to ensure Aon’s client needs are met. This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our London office.
