Vacancy Details

Employer: Huntswood

            Role Profile: Underwriter – UK Regulated Markets (Talent Pool)

            We are building something exceptional — a new UK Underwriting function that will sit at the heart of our expanding UK business. As we grow, we are creating a talent community of high‑calibre Underwriters and Senior Underwriters with strong expertise across the UK regulated market (FCA).
            If you have experience in General Insurance, Life/Protection, or Health Insurance, and you’re energised by the opportunity to shape a function from the ground up, this is your chance to play a pivotal role in an exciting transformation. You won’t just be joining a team — you’ll be helping to build it.

            What You’ll Be Part Of

            By joining our talent pool, you’ll be considered for future opportunities within a function that is evolving, innovative, and high impact. You’ll contribute to building our underwriting capability, influencing how we operate, make decisions, and steward risk across our UK entities.

            What You Bring

            We’re looking to connect with underwriters who can demonstrate:
            • Solid technical underwriting experience across UK‑regulated General Insurance, Life/Protection or Health Insurance
            • The ability to interpret complex information and make informed, balanced risk decisions
            • Strong awareness of the UK insurance landscape and regulatory expectations under the FCA
            • Confidence in assessing cases involving financial, medical, lifestyle or occupational factors
            • Clear, engaging communication skills — able to explain decisions and influence stakeholders
            • The ability to build trusted working relationships across internal and external teams
            • A passion for contributing to capability-building, process shaping or mentoring others
            • A proactive mindset and comfort working in evolving, fast‑moving environments
            Experience We’re Looking For 
            • Underwriting experience within UK financial services (GI, Protection/Life, or Health Insurance)
            • Understanding of FCA regulations and compliance requirements
            • Ability to navigate underwriting tools, manuals, and decision‑support frameworks
            • Strong analytical capability to evaluate medical, lifestyle, or financial disclosures
            • Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams like claims, actuarial, compliance and product
            • Exposure to continuous improvement or operational enhancement initiatives
            • A forward‑thinking, growth‑oriented mindset
            Why Join This Talent Pool?

            Because you will be part of something truly exciting. This is a rare opportunity to influence the creation of a UK Underwriting function — shaping processes, contributing to strategy, and setting a new benchmark for underwriting excellence.
            If you want to be at the forefront of building a function that will have long‑lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
