In this role, you’ll provide dedicated support to a panel of NFU Mutual Agents across the South Region (covering Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire). You’ll be responsible for underwriting a portfolio of commercial combined risks, leveraging your technical expertise to negotiate large commercial account reviews and connected portfolios.
