Join a leading Primary Specialty Insurance provider as a Senior Property Underwriter!

Your new company

Your new employer is on a relentless journey to become the leader in Primary Specialty Insurance. This vision is fuelled by an innovative and flexible strategy, top-tier products, and a team of industry experts who excel in a nurturing environment.
At the core of their success lies a vibrant culture that inspires individuals to be engaged, courageous, and inquisitive, enabling them to achieve their personal and professional aspirations.

Your new role

In this role, you will underwrite new and renewed property business, ensuring alignment with the business plan to maximise profit while maintaining the company's reputation and regulatory compliance. Key responsibilities include managing property business performance, monitoring EPI, handling referrals, and conducting regular reviews and audits.
You will build and maintain effective relationships with insureds, brokers, and colleagues across various teams. Additionally, you will stay informed about market developments, review rates and policy documents, and participate in relevant meetings to support business objectives.

What you'll need to succeed

The successful candidate will have advanced knowledge and understanding of underwriting principles, legal principles, CBI and Lloyd’s rules and regulations (including conduct risk and contract certainty issues), and the Ireland insurance market are essential. You should be familiar with all company-specific procedures related to your role and those you supervise, as well as the Ireland commercial property business, including liabilities associated with commercial combined/package business. A clear understanding of the roles of colleagues and their relationship to the firm's structure and business plans is crucial. You will also need to develop and maintain market awareness.

What you'll get in return

You will be rewarded with a comprehensive benefits package, including 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, a 10% non-contributory pension, and eligibility for an annual bonus. We offer private medical and dental insurance, along with critical illness insurance, life assurance, and permanent health insurance. Our wellbeing and development scheme, employee assistance program (EAP), and health assessments (subject to eligibility) support your overall health and growth. Additionally, we provide an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme, study and continuing professional development support, and hybrid working arrangements with IT home set up support.
