Do you enjoy building strong relationships with brokers and customers while delivering tailored underwriting solutions that make a real difference?
We’re looking for a Trading Underwriter with Property & Liability experience to join a Leeds-based team.

Collaboration is central to the role — you’ll work closely with internal stakeholders to deliver optimal outcomes for customers and contribute to overall branch performance and strategic goals.
Skills and ExperienceWe’re looking for someone who brings:
Property & Liability underwriting expertise — confident in assessing risk and delivering profitable, well-structured solutions.
Strong relationship-building and communication skills — able to engage effectively with brokers and customers, negotiate terms, and influence outcomes.
Analytical judgement and decision-making ability — comfortable interpreting data and risk factors to create tailored underwriting terms.
Excellent time management and prioritisation — able to manage multiple cases and deadlines efficiently.
Regulatory awareness and organisational understanding — knowledge of FCA requirements and experience working within a large, complex organisation.
