Job Description

What if you could own a stake in the business you're helping to build, leverage market-leading technology to underwrite complex risks in under a minute, and work within an environment where decisions are made quickly and your contribution genuinely matters? An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced International Property Senior Trading Underwriter to join a highly ambitious and rapidly growing insurer. This is a chance to become part of a business that is challenging traditional market models through innovation, technology and a truly entrepreneurial culture. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Shared Success Employees have a genuine stake in the future of the business through equity ownership in the parent company. This creates strong alignment across the organisation, with many team members choosing to invest personally alongside the company's growth journey. Technology That Enhances Underwriting The company has developed a proprietary underwriting platform designed to simplify and accelerate the underwriting process. Complex risks can be quoted and bound in under a minute, allowing underwriters to focus on what they do best-building broker relationships, making informed underwriting decisions and growing profitable portfolios. A Modern, Agile Culture Built with a digital-first mindset, the business operates with a flat structure that values expertise, accountability and speed. There is no unnecessary hierarchy, meaning ideas are heard, decisions are made quickly, and individuals can make a tangible impact on the direction of the business. The Role As a Senior Trading Underwriter, you will play a key role in the continued growth and profitability of the International Property portfolio. You will be responsible for developing broker relationships, underwriting complex risks, identifying new business opportunities and contributing to the strategic direction of the portfolio.
