Head of Wordings

We are pleased to be partnering with a growing Lloyd’s/London market insurer in the search for their first Head of Wordings.

This newly created position will report directly to the Chief Underwriting Officer and take ownership of all wording-related matters across the business. The role involves close collaboration with senior underwriting leaders across a diverse range of property, casualty, and specialty lines.

The position has been established in response to increasing demand for legal and contractual documentation. It will play a critical role in upholding the company’s high standards, mitigating legal risk, and enhancing client confidence and satisfaction.

The ideal candidate will have prior experience as a Head of Wordings—or in a senior wording role ready to step up—with the expertise to build and lead a function from the ground up. A strong understanding of the London market insurance landscape and excellent stakeholder management skills are essential.
