Head of Construction Underwriting (Multi-Award-Winning Insurer) - Birmingham Job Type: Permanent Sector: General Insurance Specialism: Underwriting Location: Midlands & Wales Town/City: Birmingham Salary range: Other, £100, 000+ Salary Description: Attractive salary plus highly lucrative bonus & benefits Posted: 05-Mar-26 Start Date: ASAP Recruiter: Aston Charles Job Ref: JH-3136HC There is no doubt about it - this company is one of the most exciting insurers in the market right now. As a result of strategic growth, our client is seeking a talented Head of Construction Underwriting to join its highly successful team. This is a truly rare opportunity to lead the company's mid market Construction division: shaping the direction of the account, leading the strategy for distribution and pricing, and launching new specialist products. This insurer operates in over 20 countries, and is very much renowned as a world leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service. Our client has a formidable Contractors Combined policy that was specifically designed by carefully consulting with its partner brokers. With many USPs, as well as the added value benefits that the wider group has to offer, this "Turnkey" solution is being extremely well received in the market. In addition, more products are in the pipeline, as this market leading insurer continues to grow. This role will support marketing promotion and the launch of new products, as well as supporting Sales in strategic broker opportunities. You will work closely with the wider underwriting leadership team to monitor and manage product profitability, and support on referrals in accordance with delegated underwriting authorities. You'll be responsible for the specification, pricing and launch of new products, reviewing, modifying and tracking appetite changes to facilitate profitable growth of the account, and working with the actuarial function and underwriting colleagues to develop appropriate and proportionate pricing models. You'll also find ways to improve underwriting processes, empowering Underwriters to be able to write more business, and you'll help to build skills, product knowledge and capability across the Construction division. It's essential that you have a successful personal history of underwriting Construction business over a number of years in the UK retail broker market. You'll also have a good understanding of the regulatory obligations for underwriting and distribution of insurance products, as well as strong knowledge of market dynamics within this class. Ideally, you will have previous leadership experience, although we will consider applications from outstanding Senior Underwriters, who are ready to step up into a 'Head of' role. Crucially, you'll be ambitious, driven, innovative, and passionate about developing the Construction account. As this is a national role, we welcome applications from Construction specialists all over the UK, although there will be the requirement to spend some time in this insurer's offices (Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham). You'll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary, plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.

As a result of strategic growth, our client is seeking a talented Head of Construction Underwriting to join its highly successful team. This is a truly rare opportunity to lead the company's mid-market Construction division: shaping the direction of the account, leading the strategy for distribution and pricing, and launching new specialist products. This insurer operates in over 20 countries, and is very much renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service. Our client has a formidable Contractors Combined policy that was specifically designed by carefully consulting with its partner brokers. With many USPs, as well as the added-value benefits that the wider group has to offer, this "Turnkey" solution is being extremely well-received in the market. In addition, more products are in the pipeline, as this market-leading insurer continues to grow. This role will support marketing promotion and the launch of new products, as well as supporting Sales in strategic broker opportunities. You will work closely with the wider underwriting leadership team to monitor and manage product profitability, and support on referrals in accordance with delegated underwriting authorities. You'll be responsible for the specification, pricing and launch of new products, reviewing, modifying and tracking appetite changes to facilitate profitable growth of the account, and working with the actuarial function and underwriting colleagues to develop appropriate and proportionate pricing models. You'll also find ways to improve underwriting processes, empowering Underwriters to be able to write more business, and you'll help to build skills, product knowledge and capability across the Construction division. It's essential that you have a successful personal history of underwriting Construction business over a number of years in the UK retail broker market. You'll also have a good understanding of the regulatory obligations for underwriting and distribution of insurance products, as well as strong knowledge of market dynamics within this class. Ideally, you will have previous leadership experience, although we will consider applications from outstanding Senior Underwriters, who are ready to step up into a 'Head of' role. Crucially, you'll be ambitious, driven, innovative, and passionate about developing the Construction account. As this is a national role, we welcome applications from Construction specialists all over the UK, although there will be the requirement to spend some time in this insurer's offices (Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham). You'll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary, plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions.
