• 7+ years of relevant underwriting experience, ideally within Financial Lines, Cyber or related specialty insurance classes.

• A strong technical understanding of underwriting principles, policy wordings, pricing, risk assessment and portfolio management.

• A proven ability to evaluate and negotiate complex risks, balancing commercial opportunities with disciplined underwriting decisions.

• Established broker relationships and the confidence to develop new business opportunities and build long-term market partnerships.

• Strong commercial judgement, analytical skills and the ability to make sound, independent underwriting decisions.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage confidently with brokers, clients and internal stakeholders.

• Experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues, with an interest in contributing to team development.
