Your new company
A well-established and forward-thinking insurance organisation is seeking a dynamic individual to take ownership of its delegated authority schemes. With a strong focus on collaboration and performance, this company values initiative, partnership, and continuous improvement. You’ll be joining a team that is committed to delivering profitable growth through strategic broker relationships and operational excellence.
Your new role
You will be responsible for managing a panel of delegated authority schemes, driving performance and profitability through proactive engagement with partner brokers and internal teams. This role involves regular scheme reviews, identifying growth opportunities, and implementing actions to improve underperforming accounts. You’ll lead renewal meetings, contribute to audits, and support compliance and regulatory requirements. Additionally, you’ll play a key role in mentoring junior team members and refining underwriting documentation and processes.

Your communication and relationship management skills will be essential, as will your ability to analyse data, write reports, and influence stakeholders. A solid understanding of the UK insurance market and regulatory landscape is required, along with proficiency in MS Office. Ideally, you’ll also hold a relevant qualification such as CII, and have advanced Excel and presentation skills.
What you'll get in return
You’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive environment where your expertise will be valued and your contributions recognised. The company offers a competitive package, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a role that blends strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.
