Underwriting Portfolio Analyst (12 Month FTC)

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract (maternity cover) for an Underwriting Portfolio Analyst , sitting at the heart of a Lloyd’s insurer’s underwriting strategy and portfolio management function.

The role is best described as a hybrid UW Portfolio / Strategy / MI / Project position, supporting the active steering and optimisation of the underwriting portfolio.

It works closely with the Underwriting Portfolio Manager and broader strategy team to deliver data-led insight, performance analysis, and strategic input into underwriting decisions.

Key themes of the role include:

• Underwriting Portfolio Management & Oversight – monitoring portfolio performance, identifying trends, conducting deep-dive performance reviews, and supporting portfolio optimisation aligned to strategy
• MI & Reporting Ownership – maintaining and enhancing a complex MI suite (Excel/VBA) and delivering regular, high-quality portfolio reporting for senior stakeholders and committees
• Strategic Input – feeding analysis into underwriting strategy, planning cycles, and decision-making, helping to challenge and validate business plans
• Project & Transformation Work – supporting the development of new MI capabilities (notably Power BI dashboards), improving reporting infrastructure, and contributing to broader underwriting transformation initiatives
• Stakeholder Engagement – working closely with underwriting, actuarial, and exposure management teams to ensure a “one source of truth” and aligned portfolio view

Overall, this is a high-impact, analytical role suited to someone with experience across underwriting portfolio analytics, MI/reporting, and strategic or project-based work, with the opportunity to influence portfolio steering, underwriting performance, and business planning within a Lloyd’s environment.
