Description

Interim Head of Underwriting - Home Insurance

An entrepreneurial award winning financial services and technology organisation are looking for an interim Head of Underwriting for by far the largest quote-return footprint of any household insurer and trusted, valuable partners to some of the biggest insurers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Your primary role will be to ensure profitability for our capacity providers whilst supporting their own profitability and growth targets

  • You will need to embrace and develop their underwriting philosophy and be from the school of underwriters who believe that any risk can be underwritten

  • While the role carries the accountability for setting and meeting strategic objectives, you will also be the senior point of referral within the business for underwriting individual cases - you will handle a diverse range of primarily non-standard risks

  • You will need to forget relationships with capacity providers so that you can effectively manage all areas

  • You will have a small team of underwriters to look after, all of whom understand our approach to risk

  • Reporting to the Senior Management team, you will be able to prepare concise, accurate reports and the ability to communicate underwriting strategy, results and change clearly are key

Experience required:

  • At least 5 years' current experience in a senior UK Household Underwriting role handling a broad variety of risks

  • A demonstrable record of Underwriting for stability and growth

  • Hands-on and able to embrace the intellectual and commercial challenge that a fast-paced environment presents

  • Able to interact and work with both junior staff and board-level Directors

  • Experience of managing people preferable, and an ability to communicate our underwriting vision clearly to them

  • Ideally your employment experience will be backed up by an ACII qualification
