We’re looking for a Senior Underwriter to join our Transaction Liability team.

You’ll take ownership of complex, high-value risks while working closely with brokers, lawyers and clients in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.

This is a highly visible underwriting role sitting at the centre of complex, fast-moving transactions.

  • Assess, structure and negotiate bespoke policy coverage in partnership with brokers, lawyers and clients.
  • Lead on complex and higher-value opportunities, acting as a senior referral point for underwriting queries within the team.
