We’re supporting a leading specialist insurer with the appointment of a Senior Underwriter to its growing Life Sciences renewals team. Life Science experience would be ideal but is not essential; technically strong underwriters interested in moving into a specialist market are encouraged to apply.
This is a hands-on underwriting role with additional technical and leadership influence. You’ll manage some of the portfolio’s larger and more complex renewal risks while supporting the development of a talented team of underwriters.
This is an opportunity to become a key contributor within a specialist portfolio, help shape its future direction and develop towards broader leadership responsibilities.

- Assessing risk, negotiating terms and making commercially balanced underwriting decisions.
- Building stronger, more proactive relationships with brokers.
- Supporting profitable retention and identifying cross-selling opportunities.
- Acting as a technical referral point for colleagues.
- Coaching and sharing knowledge with less experienced underwriters.
- Supporting the Team Manager and contributing to wider trading discussions.
- Helping develop and grow a recently enhanced Life Science proposition.
Skills & Experience
- Strong technical underwriting experience within Life Science, Property & Casualty, or Commercial Combined.
- Experience handling complex commercial risks, with sound commercial judgement and confident decision-making.
- Strong broker relationship management skills.
- An interest in coaching, supporting and developing others.
- The credibility and energy to positively influence a developing team.
