You will join a best-in-class underwriting team, and we are now seeking two Senior Credit Underwriters at an inflection point in our growth. You will assess high-value underwriting opportunities at scale within well-defined time frames, working alongside a team of experienced professionals who share an uncompromising commitment to underwriting discipline.
What You Will Bring
- A minimum of ten years' experience in credit insurance, political risk insurance, or financial guarantees — with deep familiarity with emerging market risk dynamics.
- A track record built at a blue-chip insurance organisation; you will be comfortable with the rigour and governance standards that entails.
- An impeccable underwriting record — you make considered, defensible decisions and stand behind them.
- Strong academic background, ideally in finance, economics, law, or a related discipline.
- The ability to operate at pace without sacrificing analytical depth — assessing complex credit and political risk structures within defined timelines.
