Job description
Are you a confident, data-driven underwriter ready to take the next step in shaping the future of a growing underwriting team?
A leading Leeds-based MGA is seeking a talented Portfolio Underwriter to join their close-knit, high-performing team. Specialising in personal lines products, primarily household, this is an exciting opportunity to influence strategy, enhance underwriting performance, and help guide the business through a new era of management and innovation.
You'll be joining a collaborative, insight-led environment where decisions are made with precision and agility. As a seasoned trading underwriter, you'll take full ownership of your own portfolio - analysing performance, identifying trends, and delivering profitable growth.
What you'll be doing:
- Managing and developing your own book of household business.
- Using data and analytics to drive underwriting decisions and portfolio improvements.
- Contributing to the evolution of underwriting strategy and best practice.
- Working closely with brokers and internal teams to strengthen trading relationships.
- Playing a key role in shaping a dynamic, forward-thinking underwriting culture.
What we're looking for:
- Proven experience in personal lines underwriting, ideally with a focus on household.
- A commercial mindset with strong trading and negotiation skills.
- Analytical thinker comfortable in a data-heavy environment.
- Someone proactive, collaborative, and ready to make an impact in a growing team.
This is a rare chance to combine autonomy with influence - where your ideas will shape the direction of the underwriting function and your expertise will help drive growth and profitability.
Ready to shape what comes next?
Apply now to join a business that values initiative, innovation, and true underwriting skill.
