About the role

As an Underwriter on our Healthcare team you’ll work closely with the Healthcare Team Leader in all aspects of underwriting, including new business and renewal underwriting, responding to broker queries and driving business development. You will consider both traditional and digital healthcare providers liability, from a holistic perspective by writing multiple classes of insurance, alongside effectively contributing to wider team projects. You will play a key role in developing and growing new business opportunities and building strong broker relationships to drive profitable Healthcare business. The role will include international travel as required, to support this.

• Support with the creation of bespoke endorsements;
• Maintain and produce regular underwriting reports around the portfolio as required;

About you

We’re looking for driven, self-starters with a strong work ethic who are keen to develop their skillset. You’ll have a solid background in underwriting or broking with at least 2-4 years in a relevant product/class – with either experience in or a strong interest in healthcare or medical malpractice products. Given our key territory is North America, experience working within this market is highly desirable. You will be expected to work at a high pace and intensity that underpins the successful framework of the CFC business and develop relationships with internal and external stakeholders to support our ambitious growth plans. You will need to be sales and service focussed, confident and personable on the phone and in front of our customers and be able to demonstrate a hunger and aptitude to support growth within the team. You will be analytical with strong attention to detail but also able to reach conclusions quickly and make effective decisions.

With the emerging nature of digital healthcare, a successful candidate will be proficient technically and keen to stay on top of current affairs within the industry.
