Senior Underwriter - US/International Property D&F
City of London - Hybrid
Competitive Base + Bonus
I am currently working with a leading Lloyd's Syndicate who are looking to expand their Property D&F team. Their appetite includes a broad variety of Property industries ex Mining, currently 85% US and the rest International, but keen to grow out the International part of the book. The book is currently 60% Primary and 40% Excess, lead markets most of the time, if not will be a good follow.
This role will suit an experienced Property Underwriter within the London/Lloyd's market, that has worked on US or International jurisdictions (if someone has both this would be beneficial but not essential).
The Opportunity
- Underwrite Direct & Facultative (D&F) Property risks, with exposure to complex and international business.
- Play a key role in developing and growing the D&F Property portfolio, helping to shape underwriting appetite, target areas and overall strategy.
- Develop and strengthen relationships with London Market and international brokers, positioning the company as a credible and trusted long-term D&F partner.
- Support the development and execution of the business plan, contributing to profitable and sustainable portfolio growth.
- Act as a senior technical referral point, providing strong underwriting judgement, technical expertise and market insight.
- Maintain a detailed understanding of market conditions, capacity, pricing and emerging trends across the D&F Property market.
- Ensure underwriting decisions and activity remain aligned with the company's underwriting standards, reinsurance strategy and regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across underwriting, operations and senior leadership as the proposition continues to develop.
About You
- Strong experience in Property Underwriting, ideally across International and/or US Property.
- Deep technical knowledge of Property wordings, structures, programmes and complex risk exposures.
- Commercially minded and entrepreneurial, with the ability to operate effectively within a portfolio-building and growth environment.
- Confident and credible when developing relationships with brokers and engaging with senior stakeholders.
- Excellent negotiation, communication and decision-making skills, with the ability to influence outcomes.
- Collaborative and team-oriented, with the technical authority, confidence and gravitas expected of a senior underwriter.
