Stakeholder Influence & Relationship Building

VitalityLife is looking for a standout life underwriter to play a key role in shaping and advancing our High Net Worth (HNW) proposition, strengthening our reputation for underwriting excellence and innovation. In this high-profile opportunity, you'll bring your life underwriting expertise to assess complex cases with confidence and precision, delivering exceptional financial and medical outcomes while acting as a trusted partner to brokers and advisers to keep major cases moving. You'll work closely with reinsurers to secure successful placements, collaborate with sales teams to design tailored financial solutions, and share your knowledge across the business to build understanding of HNW underwriting. While experience in high net worth is advantageous, what's most important is a strong foundation in life underwriting, so if you've built solid experience and are ready to step into a more specialised space, we'd love to hear from you. As a senior member of the team, you'll also support and develop others, champion continuous improvement, and help evolve our proposition so VitalityLife continues to lead the market with credibility, expertise and forward-thinking delivery.

• A solutions-focused mindset with the ability to tackle complex problems and think creatively about risk.
• Proven ability to mentor others and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and development.
• Solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office and the organisational skills required to manage high-value cases with precision.
