What you’ll be doing


You’ll join our closely-knit Political & Credit Risk team providing a comprehensive administrative service as an Underwriting Technician. This role involves using your communication skills to liaise closely with Underwriting Operations, including being the onshore interface between underwriters and the service provider in respect of all technical processing activities. With your prioritisation and organisational ability, you’ll assist the team in the preparation of statistics and the analysis of business trends.


Commercial awareness and numerical/analytical aptitude will serve you in good stead in this role, along with a general interest in world affairs and the real stories behind the headlines. Ability with Microsoft Excel and financial data manipulation will be highly advantageous. Your desire to develop and build on existing knowledge, both in these areas and this insurance class of business generally will be vital.


The role is part-time based around the equivalent of 3 days a week with some flexibility to balance specific contractual hours around the right candidate’s needs. Hybrid working is feasible/expected, but please note that during the initial training phase it is likely that most time will need to be face-to-face in our London office.


If you’re looking for a flexible role within a friendly, supportive and collaborative team with ample opportunity to learn and grow your skills and abilities, you’re looking in the right place!


We welcome everyone wholeheartedly.

We’ve got a truly diverse, genuinely inclusive work environment. We comfortably and confidently bring our whole selves to work, because we know we’ll be respected, valued and accepted whoever we are. Our Employee Resource groups are safe spaces for people to share their experiences, aspirations and suggestions about how we do things.
