I'm working with a vibrant and fast-growing MGA that's part of a wider, long-standing insurance group. The business has seen significant growth year-on-year (20% and rising) and is building something genuinely exciting.
Their East Kent office is home to a close-knit and energetic commercial team. It's a culture where your ideas are heard, innovation is encouraged, and you'll be surrounded by people who are proud to be doing things differently in the market. Modern systems, bold branding, and a collaborative environment all make this a great place for an experienced underwriter looking for more ownership and progression.

Strong relationship-building skills - personable, confident, and commercially aware
A positive, “can-do” attitude with a willingness to be hands-on

Cert CII is a plus - but not essential; full study support is provided
Someone who's comfortable in a scaling business and eager to grow with it
The Process
Initial interview with senior leadership
Final stage with the CEO (competency and scenario-based, with potential technical element)
