  • Undertake referral cases above the authority levels of Underwriters, Trainee Underwriters and Apprentices, whilst adhering to individual authority level.
  • Adopt and adhere to company and NUH-prescribed processes, best practice and standard work.
  • Support the personal development of underwriting staff by delivering training and technical guidance.
  • Enhance the company's national standing and presence by establishing and maintaining strong personal relationships with key directors and staff at the most important brokers.
  • Contribute to the technical knowledge of the business by feeding back technical and commercial market intelligence to the NUH Underwriting Manager and wider team.
  • Maintain and enhance personal knowledge of relevant technical issues.
  • Work collaboratively with other parts of the organisation, including regional offices, claims and survey teams.
  • Conduct regular case reviews to ensure technical procedures and standards are always followed.

EXPERIENCE

  • Minimum of 5 years' experience in underwriting.
  • Proven broker account development and management experience.
  • Proven track record of successfully developing and maintaining effective trading relationships.
  • Experience working across functions and matrix organisations to collaborate and build strong relationships.
  • Consistently achieving goals and objectives within a structured, organised and planned manner.

SKILLS

  • Strong risk perception and ability to price risk accordingly.
  • Effective negotiation skills — flexible and appropriate in approach.
  • Confident selling and trading skills.
  • Strong organisational skills with operational effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Clear and effective communication, both written and verbal.

EDUCATION / QUALIFICATIONS

  • Minimum Cert CII required.
  • Dip CII, or active progress towards, is preferred.
