Job description
Most PI roles are about managing a book.
This isn't.
This is about building one - properly.
The Opportunity
A new, senior hire to lead the build-out of a large-risk / complex PI proposition - focused on binder and co-insurance opportunities in the London market.
There's no legacy book to babysit.
No inherited problems to fix.
You're coming in to create something.
- Targeting larger, more complex PI risks
- Working closely with top-tier London market brokers (think Lockton, Gallagher and peers)
- Developing a product and proposition that can genuinely compete
- Building a book from (near) standing start - with backing
If you've ever said "I'd do this differently if it were mine"… this is where you find out.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
No fluff. No filler.
- Originate and grow a large-risk PI portfolio
- Build and own broker relationships at the top end of the market
- Structure and write complex risks across binder and co-insurance placements
- Shape underwriting strategy - not just follow it
- Be the person people go to when the deal isn't straightforward
Who This Suits
You're not junior. And you're not coasting.
- An established PI underwriter with credibility in the London market
- Known (or at least recognised) by the brokers that matter
- Commercially sharp - you enjoy the deal, not just the detail
- Motivated by building something, not just maintaining it
Realistically, you're probably in a role now where:
- You've built something… but don't fully control it
- You're constrained by appetite, politics, or pace
- Or you're wondering if there's one more move that actually changes your trajectory
The Reality
Let's be clear - this isn't easy.
- You're building from a low base
- You'll need to open doors and win trust quickly
- There's nowhere to hide if you don't deliver
But…
If you get it right, this is the kind of role that defines your career, not just your next 18 months.
The Upside
- Up to £170k base (flex for the right person)
- Bonus that reflects production, not just participation
- The chance to build something with genuine market relevance
- Long-term upside for someone who delivers
