Senior Motor Fleet Underwriter - Home Based

If you underwrite haulage fleet and want a role where you can actually influence how a book is built, this is worth a look. You will join a newer, well-backed proposition in haulage fleet, with a salary of between £55,000 to £65,000, bonus, a home-based contract and the chance to help shape a line at the right stage of its growth. The capacity behind it is a major household name, and the wider platform is exactly where you would want it to be: specialist, ambitious, broker-focused and built to do things differently.

This is a strong move for an underwriter who enjoys trading, wants a bigger voice in how a product develops, and likes the idea of joining a progressive MGA where there is genuine momentum behind what they are building. The business positions itself around specialist underwriting, technology, risk insight and strong broker support, which gives this role a lot more substance than simply maintaining another fleet account.

The opportunity

• You will underwrite new and existing haulage fleet business profitably, accurately and consistently, while helping to support the ongoing development of the product.
• This isn’t just a case of following process and keeping things moving; you will build broker relationships, support presentations and tenders, contribute to growth plans and help build confidence in the market around a newer proposition with strong backing.

What you will be doing

• Underwriting new and existing haulage fleet business in line with agreed underwriting standards.
• Trading with brokers and building strong market relationships.
• Supporting meetings, presentations and tenders to win new business.
• Helping grow the product and build a strong new business pipeline.
• Monitoring account performance, pricing and profitability.
• Supporting underwriting controls and product governance.
• Working closely with the lead underwriter on delivery, servicing and product development.
• Helping identify improvements and commercial opportunities as the line grows.

Who this could suit

• A fleet underwriter with good haulage knowledge who wants a more visible role.
• Someone from an insurer or broker background with at least a couple of years of relevant experience.
• A strong trader who is commercially aware and comfortable negotiating with brokers.
• An underwriter who enjoys building relationships as much as assessing risk.
• Someone who wants to join a newer line where they can make a difference, rather than just slot into a mature structure.
• Dip CII or progress towards ACII would be welcome, but it isn’t essential.

Why this role stands out

• Salary of £55,000 to £65,000.
• Bonus on top.
• Home-based working.
• The chance to help build a newer fleet proposition.
• Strong household-name capacity behind the product.
• A progressive MGA environment with real momentum.
• Good long-term upside for someone who wants more ownership and visibility.

The business

This sits within a newer specialist MGA that positions itself around rethinking risk, redesigning insurance and combining underwriting, sector expertise, technology and data to deliver better outcomes. The business also puts real emphasis on broker support, product training, practical market engagement and tailored solutions, which should appeal to an underwriter who wants to work in a more progressive environment.

The next step

If you know fleet, understand haulage, and like the idea of joining a well-backed proposition early enough to have a genuine impact, this is worth a confidential conversation.
