Job description
An established and fast-growing MGA is seeking a Head of Property & Casualty to lead and develop its property underwriting portfolio as part of an ambitious growth strategy.

For a senior property underwriter looking to elevate their impact and career trajectory, this role stands out for its scope, pace, and long-term progression potential.
