The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced International (non US) D&O / Financial Lines Underwriter to join a small, highly respected and profitable Financial Lines team as part of its next phase of organic growth.

This is a rare opportunity to step into an established and well performing book with a strong track record, excellent broker relationships, and the backing of a business that values underwriting discipline, autonomy, and long term profitability over volume.

Key Responsibilities

• Underwrite International (non US) D&O and Financial Lines business, with a clear focus on disciplined, profitable growth
• Manage and deepen relationships with a panel of core broker partners
• Take ownership of underwriting decisions within agreed authority levels
• Contribute actively to the strategic development of the Financial Lines book, including product development and portfolio management
• Work closely with experienced colleagues in a collaborative, low bureaucracy environment
• Represent the business in the market and support the continued enhancement of the team’s strong reputation

About You

You are likely to have:

• Proven experience underwriting International D&O / Financial Lines business (non US focus essential)

• An existing and credible broker network, and confidence interacting at senior broker level
• The ambition to take on greater autonomy and responsibility in your role
• A commercial mindset balanced with sound underwriting judgement
• A proactive, collaborative approach and a desire to help shape the next stage of the team’s growth

This role will particularly appeal to candidates who feel ready for the next step but do not want to sacrifice underwriting quality, credibility, or culture.

Why Join?

• Join a highly experienced Financial Lines team with an excellent market reputation
• True organic growth opportunity, not a turnaround or remediation exercise
• Autonomy and influence in underwriting decisions and portfolio strategy
• Supportive, entrepreneurial environment with minimal bureaucracy
• Competitive remuneration package aligned with experience and impact
