HNW Life Underwriter

Senior Life Underwriter – High Net Worth

100% Remote | Up to £60,000 + Bonus + Exceptional Benefits | Genuine Flexible Working

Are you an experienced Life Underwriter looking for something a little different? Perhaps you're ready to take your technical expertise into a more specialist area, work on complex, high-value cases and have a real influence on how an underwriting proposition develops?

We're partnering with a leading, award-winning insurer looking for a talented Life Underwriter to join its High Net Worth (HNW) team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a genuinely lovely, supportive team within a business that values its people, offers real flexibility and encourages you to develop your career.

And the best part? You don't need previous High Net Worth underwriting experience! If you have a strong background in Life Underwriting and are keen to broaden your expertise, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on offer?

• Salary up to £60,000
• 100% remote working across the UK
• Genuine flexible working – a business that trusts you to manage your day
• Performance-related bonus
• Excellent pension
• Award-winning private health insurance with additional rewards and benefits
• Life assurance – 4x annual salary
• A welcoming, collaborative and highly supportive team
• Excellent career development and progression opportunities
• The chance to join an award-winning employer recognised for its outstanding workplace culture

The opportunity

This is much more than a traditional underwriting role.

You'll play an important part in developing and strengthening the insurer's High Net Worth proposition, working on complex cases and building trusted relationships with brokers, advisers, reinsurers and internal stakeholders.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Underwrite complex, high-value life insurance applications, considering both medical and financial risks.
• Work closely with brokers and advisers to help progress large and complex cases.
• Collaborate with reinsurers to secure successful placements.
• Partner with sales teams to develop tailored underwriting solutions.
• Provide technical guidance and support to colleagues across the business.
• Mentor and develop less experienced underwriters.
• Contribute ideas and improvements that help shape the future of the HNW offering.

What we're looking for

• Strong, established experience in Life Underwriting.
• Confidence assessing complex medical and financial risks.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to influence stakeholders and find solutions to challenging cases.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach to underwriting.
• An interest in supporting and developing others.

Previous HNW experience would be advantageous, but it is absolutely not essential.

We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced Life Underwriters who are ready for a new challenge and would enjoy stepping into a more specialist, influential role.

Why consider this role?

It's not often you find an opportunity offering this combination of technical challenge, career development, complete remote working and genuine flexibility.

You'll be joining a business recognised as one of the UK's best places to work, with a fantastic team, supportive leadership and a culture where people are trusted, valued and encouraged to succeed.

If you're happy in your current role but curious about what else might be out there, this is definitely one worth exploring.
