Strategy & Development Underwriting Lead

Are you an experienced Development Underwriter or Broker Relationship Manager looking for a unique new challenge to combine elements of both roles together? If so this could be the opportunity for you.

IPS Group is partnering with a high profile Global Insurer who have an opportunity to join them in this newly created position which will have a tangible impact on how they write their business.
This is a unique and strategically important opportunity for an experienced Underwriter or BDM to take on a newly created role focused on elevating service for high-value commercial clients, those typically with premiums over £100k across a broad range of lines. Whether you’re a development-focused Underwriter or a Broker Relationship Manager with strong technical foundations, this role offers the best of both worlds: underwriting authority, direct client ownership, and strategic influence.

You’ll lead key relationships for complex accounts, particularly those approaching renewal where retention is critical. With the authority to make commercial decisions at pace, you’ll act as a trusted point of contact for both clients and brokers building and negotiating long-term partnerships, not just handling transactions.

Collaboration is at the heart of this role. You’ll work closely with internal underwriting teams to ensure a smooth, joined-up experience across the lifecycle of each account.
What makes this role stand out is the chance to shape it from scratch. You’ll have the opportunity to define what “great” looks like in large-client service, with genuine backing from leadership and the autonomy to make things happen. This is not a plug-and-play position it’s for someone who brings ideas, initiative, and a strong sense of commercial judgment.

We’re looking for someone with a solid grounding in Property & Casualty underwriting, who also thrives in a front-facing, consultative role. You’ll be confident working across multiple lines, proactive in managing broker relationships, and comfortable navigating complexity.

If you are looking for something more within underwriting where you can make a big impact from day one, this could be the role for you.
