This is a senior underwriting position, with room for someone who is ready to step up and be recognised as such. Broking experience is also considered, provided you have strong marine technical expertise and a measured, commercial approach.
Underwriting decisions sit firmly with underwriters. The operating model has been adjusted so that trading activity is part of the underwriting function, not sales. It’s a straightforward setup that experienced underwriters tend to appreciate.
The role is based in Manchester, covering a well-established broker market across the North West. Existing relationships matter, but you won’t be expected to carry the commercial load alone. Dedicated business development support allows you to focus on underwriting and decision-making.
The wider group is financially strong, globally backed and long-term in outlook. People tend to stay because the platform is stable, the work is credible and underwriters are trusted. Career progression exists within the UK and internationally, but there is no pressure to move roles prematurely.
This is not a sales role and not a training post. It suits someone who is ready to be accountable for a significant cargo book and wants the authority to match their experience.
If you’re at a point where you want your experience properly recognised — or you’re already senior and want a role with depth rather than noise — this is worth a conversation.
Applications are handled discreetly. A discussion costs nothing and will be straight, informed and confidential.
