This is a rare, entrepreneurial opportunity for an ambitious, established Terrorism Underwriter to spearhead the launch and build-out of a global Terrorism portfolio within a newly established Lloyd’s syndicate.
Reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Underwriting Officer, you will have full autonomy to shape the underwriting strategy, establish technical pricing framework standards, and drive broker distribution from the ground up. This role is ideally suited for a high-performing senior underwriter or designated 'number two' who has reached a career ceiling in their current division and is ready to transition into full portfolio ownership.
Key Responsibilities
- Portfolio Strategy & Execution: Lead the design, planning, and execution of a profitable global Terrorism and Political Violence underwriting strategy in line with the syndicate’s risk appetite.
- Underwriting Excellence: Underwrite a broad spectrum of risks, including standalone Terrorism, Sabotage, Strikes, Riots, Civil Commotion (SRCC), and select Political Violence specialties.
- Performance Management: Monitor portfolio performance, aggregations, and technical underwriting metrics, working in close partnership with the Deputy CUO to ensure long-term profitability.
- Broker & Distribution Management: Leverage existing market relationships and proactively develop new broker distribution channels to secure high-quality global flow.
- Governance & Wording: Oversee the development of robust policy wordings, underwriting guidelines, and peer-review processes to ensure strict adherence to Lloyd’s minimum standards.
