Trading Underwriter

We have an excellent opportunity for a Trading Underwriter to join our high performing Client Services department at DAS UK Group. Based in central Bristol this is a great opportunity to work alongside Senior and Assistant Trading Underwriters, and hold responsibility for dealing with business partners and providing our partners with a bespoke service. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in the underwriting of our standard products.

In this role you will meet with our business partners to negotiate renewal terms, provide performance updates and proactively manage their insurance risk. In addition, you will be responsible for identifying any underwriting issues negatively impacting our business partners, working with internal and external stakeholders to resolve these issues to our business partners satisfaction.

• The ability to work at pace whilst maintaining an accurate, high quality output;
• An ability to manage different projects and tasks, while meeting challenging deadlines and exceeding customers’ expectations; and

Whilst this is a full-time role, we would consider applications for part time working and we are happy to consider flexible working arrangements for the right candidate.

As a team we are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do. Our people are encouraged to think independently and to take ownership of their work. You will be agile in the way that you work and adaptable to change. In return for your commitment, we will offer you generous remuneration and an attractive benefits package which will include:
