Underwriter in Newport

Telecom Infrastructure Partners (TIP) is a leading global telecommunications and digital infrastructure investment firm. We operate in 14 countries and are backed by leading institutional investors, DigitalBridge and Swiss Life Asset Managers, with over $1.5 billion committed to infrastructure.

TIP acts as a trusted commercial partner to property owners who host structures such as mobile (cell) sites, rooftop antennas, or fiber equipment. We provide upfront lease payments and professionally manage agreements, giving owners financial security, reducing risk, and handling the long-term complexities of their leases.

We also work closely with telecom operators and infrastructure companies, offering reliable, structured access to network sites under clear, professionally managed agreements. This approach allows operators to focus on building and operating networks, while we manage lease administration and complexity.

Our work sits at the intersection of finance, telecom, and real estate, and at the heart of it all is our commitment to long-term partnerships built on trust, transparency, and value.

We’re a company in motion. Like many growing businesses, things move fast and not everything is fully refined. We’re building processes, shaping systems, improving how we work, and learning as we go. It’s not always perfect, but that’s where the opportunity lies – to make a meaningful impact and help shape what TIP becomes next.

We Put People First. We Pursue Excellence. We Act with Authenticity. We Act with Integrity. We Embrace Change.

We’re focused on building a culture that supports both pace and progress. That means putting strong foundations in place, being clear on our values, and creating an environment where people can do their best work with trust, autonomy, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.

As an Underwriter at TIP, you will be in a high-impact role positioned at the crossroads of legal, financial, and operational decision-making. You will ensure consistent governance, impartial risk analysis, and alignment with TIP’s global investment standards.

You will:

• Review and analyse investment documentation such as leases, proof of rents, site inspection reports, and title reports.
• Identify potential risks or discrepancies, ask critical questions, and ensure all necessary information is complete and accurate before transactions proceed.
• Provide financial insights and technical support to guide investment decisions and ensure compliance with both local and global objectives.
• Support the development of financial models and reporting on investment portfolios for internal stakeholders.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with legal, investment, and in-country teams to maintain high standards of due diligence and commercial integrity.
• Participate in the preparation of internal presentations, reporting packs, or briefing documents for senior leadership.
• Monitor and track investment pipeline progress, flagging delays or gaps in documentation and due diligence.
• Contribute to ongoing process improvement initiatives within the legal and underwriting function.
• Contribute to global knowledge sharing, helping refine TIP’s global investment framework as new markets come online.

This role will work from our UK Head Office in Shrewsbury, to collaborate effectively with commercial and central stakeholders.

This role is suited to someone who thrives on detail, values accountability, and is comfortable operating in a time-sensitive, collaborative environment. You’ll need the confidence to raise thoughtful questions and highlight concerns constructively, always with professionalism and mutual respect, and build strong relationships with colleagues across diverse functions and geographies.

You’ll likely bring:

• Qualifications/relevant industry experience in or understanding of Finance, Economics, Business, Law, or a related field.
• Experience in relevant analytical or commercial roles, e.g., risk analysis, underwriting, investment support, commercial finance, or paralegal work.
• Strong data analysis and financial modelling skills, with confidence using Excel or similar.
• Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex issues clearly and professionally, both in writing and verbally.
• A high level of attention to detail, with a methodical and organised approach to work.
• A collaborative mindset, openness to feedback, and a commitment to continuous learning.

Preferred (but not essential):

• Previous experience in risk analysis, investment support, commercial finance, or legal review roles.
• Familiarity with infrastructure, telecom, real estate, or financial services sectors.
• Exposure to working in international, globally distributed, and cross-cultural environments.

Working at TIP means more than just a job. It’s a chance to be part of something evolving, with room to grow, strong support to succeed, and the opportunity to make a lasting contribution. This role offers exposure to international investment projects and cross-functional decision-making within a scaling, global organisation.
