Senior Specialty Underwriter – Warranty & Assistance (EU Markets)
Remote within the UK or EU
About the Role
We’re looking for a commercially minded underwriter with a flair for business development to help grow our EU warranty and assistance portfolio.
You’ll play a key role in shaping our strategy across multiple product lines — from warranty and embedded protection to home and roadside assistance — while developing new broker and distribution relationships across the UK and EU.
This is a rare opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, expanding business backed by a global insurance group. The role offers genuine autonomy, flexible working (remote from UK or Ireland), and the chance to make a measurable impact.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and grow an EU-facing underwriting portfolio across scalable, profitable segments.
- Originate, structure, and underwrite warranty and assistance business lines including:
> Phones, gadgets, and consumer electronics
> Electrical goods and small domestic appliances
> Scratch, dent & alloy cover
> Home and roadside assistance
> Embedded and opt-in warranty solutions
- Build and maintain strong broker, MGA, and distribution relationships across the UK and EU.
- Collaborate with senior leadership on strategy, product development, and pricing.
- Leverage your existing network and expertise to drive premium growth and new opportunities.
About You
- 5+ years’ experience in warranty, assistance, or specialty underwriting, ideally within an MGA or carrier environment.
- Solid technical understanding with a proven ability to originate and underwrite profitable schemes.
- Strong broker and intermediary network, with experience managing and developing accounts.
- Entrepreneurial, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing environment.
- Equally happy negotiating a deal, refining a product, or shaping a growth plan.
What’s on Offer
- A pivotal role in shaping and expanding our EU warranty & assistance footprint.
- Full flexibility — work remotely from anywhere in the UK or Ireland, with travel as needed.
- Competitive package with strong bonus potential.
- A collaborative, ambitious team culture where initiative is valued and rewarded.
