Job description

North American Management Liability Underwriter

Department: Specialty Lines

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: UK - London

Reporting To: Pietro Cantadori

Description

As a North American Management Liability Underwriter, you will work closely with the Team Leader and other members of the team to focus on servicing and growing the profitable Canadian portfolio.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day underwriting of Management Liability accounts and everything that comes with it, including relationship management, broker development and, at times, work travel. Expert underwriting and excellent customer service are at the centre of everything we do, so an important part of our day is time spent meeting and on the phone with brokers.

As well as underwriting of accounts and business development, you will have exposure to other teams within CFC including actuarial, claims and product development.

About you

We are looking for driven, self-starters with a strong work ethic. You will have an analytical mind as well as a desire to develop your technical underwriting and business development skills. The ideal candidate will have previous experience broking or underwriting in D&O/ML, who can create and maintain positive broker relationships.

Strong knowledge of both ML products and the Canadian market would be preferable, but we would also consider profiles with transferable skills. You will be a team player that can build and share knowledge on the market and emerging trends. You'll be able to build product knowledge and relationships across the business as well as coach junior members of the team. Being fluent in French would be preferable, given the potential exposure to Quebec.

Core Values

Love what you do: We show up each day ready to take on the world. Our passion and intensity set us apart and makes the difference to our colleagues, customers, brokers and carriers.

Challenge everything: We’re never afraid to question the way that things are done and we constantly challenge ourselves and others to makes things better.

Have fun, be good: Insurance is a serious business, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We make it fun to work at CFC, we welcome all viewpoints, and we treat everyone how we would expect to be treated.
