ABOUT YOU

We are seeking a dynamic insurance professional with extensive commercial underwriting experience. You’ll have a successful track record of managing more complex and technical cases across a range of commercial insurance products and will be able to demonstrate your ability to effectively coach and guide others.

You’ll also be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Effective negotiation skills to engage with stakeholders, facilitate successful outcomes, and confidently manage discussions on complex accounts
  • Hold a UK driving licence and be comfortable travelling to agency sites when required
  • Have completed or be working towards level 3 ACII (desirable).

Responsibilities

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. By collaborating with Subject Matter Experts as needed, you’ll deliver compelling, market-leading propositions to our customers.
Working closely with Agents, you’ll aim to maximise profitable growth opportunities, influence performance, and support them in achieving excellent underwriting results.
Your first six months will focus on learning, supported by our career development framework, with training provided in agricultural knowledge and other areas as required. Following this, you’ll progress to agency visits, build your portfolio, and manage increasingly complex cases.
This is a home-based role with regular travel to Agents. The frequency of visits will vary based on monthly needs, allowing you to plan in advance and maintain control over your schedule for a positive work-life balance.
