A fast-growing, global insurance technology consultancy is establishing and scaling its UK presence and is seeking a senior Underwriting Consultant to play a pivotal role in that growth. With more than 1,000 professionals worldwide across Europe, Benelux, Japan and North America, the firm combines genuine international scale with a flat, entrepreneurial culture. The UK is a strategic priority, and this role sits at the heart of that expansion. This is not a delivery-only position. It is a leadership mandate. The Opportunity Reporting directly to the Managing Partner, you will take ownership of the underwriting competency, acting as the senior underwriting authority across UK and international engagements. You will shape how underwriting transformation is conceived, sold and delivered -spanning both business change and technology modernisation. You will be trusted to set direction, represent the firm in senior client forums, and influence how underwriting capability is built globally.
