The Role
We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established national insurance company for a Commercial P&C Underwriter based in Northern Ireland. This is a home-based, market-facing position with a strong focus on broker development and new business across the Northern Ireland commercial market. The business has a growing regional presence across the UK and is looking to strengthen its Northern Ireland operation with a dedicated underwriter who can develop new broker relationships and service the existing portfolio. This is not a desk-based processing role – it is a position for someone who is active in the market, well-connected and motivated to grow.
You will be supported by a strong central team and will operate with genuine underwriting authority. The expectation from day one is that you are the face of the business in Northern Ireland – present, credible and building.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing new relationships with commercial insurance brokers across Northern Ireland, including national networks and independent brokers
- Underwriting commercial P&C risks within your delegated authority across the SME and mid-market segment
- Managing and retaining the existing Northern Ireland portfolio, acting as the primary underwriting contact for established broker relationships
- Identifying new business opportunities and proactively approaching brokers who are not currently on the panel
- Working autonomously day to day while maintaining close collaboration with the wider regional underwriting team
- Representing the business professionally and consistently across the Northern Ireland market
What We’re Looking For
- Solid experience in commercial P&C underwriting across SME or mid-market risks
- An established network of broker contacts in Northern Ireland – national and / or independent
- Background from a composite insurer, MGA or similar underwriting environment
- Technically sound across a broad range of commercial P&C trade classes
- Highly self-motivated and comfortable in a home-based, field-facing role with minimal day-to-day oversight
- Strong interpersonal and relationship management skills – brokers trust and enjoy working with you
- Demonstrable track record of new business generation, not just account management
What’s in It for You
- Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience
- Performance bonus scheme
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Home-based in Northern Ireland with flexibility to manage your own schedule
- Real delegated underwriting authority – you make the decisions, not a committee
- Ownership of the Northern Ireland territory – your market, your book, your reputation
- The backing of a well‑capitalised national business with a clear regional growth strategy
- Genuine career development potential as the regional operation expands
