Marine Underwriter

Marine Underwriter – Specialty MGA & Syndicate

Location: London | Salary: Competitive + bonus | Experience: 3–5 years

Our client is a rapidly growing specialty MGA & Syndicate with a strong focus on emerging markets and complex risk. Their Marine division plays a pivotal role within the business – providing intelligent, risk-led cargo and project solutions. This isn’t a role about ticking boxes or quoting from templates – it’s about using judgement, building relationships, and shaping business across markets where every deal genuinely counts.

As a Marine Underwriter, you’ll work closely with senior leadership, brokers, and counterparties to grow a diverse portfolio covering:

• Marine Open Covers and Single Shipments (imports, exports, domestic transit)
• Stock Throughput – combined stock and transit risks
• Project Cargo including Delay in Start-Up
• Risks spanning Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas, and Pharmaceuticals

The environment is collegiate, fast-paced, and underpinned by a strong sense of purpose – providing capacity and confidence across some of the most exciting, fast-evolving regions globally.

We’re looking for someone with 3–5 years’ underwriting experience, ideally within marine cargo or related specialty lines, who’s commercially sharp, technically credible, and thrives in a collaborative team setting.

If you’re ready to join a business where your underwriting actually makes a difference – and want to work alongside some of the best in the market – this could be a superb move.
