D&F Underwriter - Assistant Underwriter moving up to Underwriter
A well-regarded, A rated Lloyd’s syndicate is seeking a Senior Underwriter to join its Global Direct & Facultative (D&F) Property team. This is a substantial, volume-driven portfolio focused on open market busines. The book spans global territories, with around 80% US exposure, and includes a mix of primary and excess layers across large, complex schedules, soft occupancies and single-location risks. All underwriters are cross-trained across territories and write on both company and syndicate platforms.
The ideal candidate will bring strong underwriting judgment, preferably with US market experience (though international underwriters willing to learn the US market are welcome). A solid understanding of modelling systems is essential due to the portfolio’s CAT exposure. The team values collaboration—accounts are shared, and no one owns a specific broker, client, or territory. With approximately 1,000 risks, the ability to work at pace and make quick decisions is key.
This is a dynamic, down-to-earth team with a strong culture and a focus on growth. The successful candidate will help provide bandwidth to the team, enabling greater focus on marketing and new business development. Everyone contributes to new business and enjoys a good spread of travel (1–4 trips per year). If you’re looking to make an impact in a high-performing, collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you.
