    Description

    Grade: 4

    Reporting to: Senior Underwriter / Product Manager

    Location: London

    Overview


    Underwriter – Motor Innovation

    ERS is the UK's largest specialist motor insurer with an A+ rating. We recognise that for some, motor insurance is more than just a must-have; it's a way of taking care of what stands at the heart of their passion or livelihood. For those people, standard insurance isn't enough. That's why we work exclusively with motor insurance brokers to help get under the skin of the most difficult insurance risks, helping build products to meet their customer's needs.

    The role


    ERS is a leading underwriter of a wide range of specialist motor insurance products. Within ERS's strategy of being the UK's leading specialist motor insurer, our focus is on delivering sustainable, high margin growth through the provision of quality propositions to a wide range of broker partners.

    The Underwriter's primary responsibility is to support the Senior Underwriter in executing our underwriting strategy and supporting the development of our underwriting appetite, working closely with the Pricing and Product Technology teams. You will also act as a referral point for team members with a lower level of authority helping to develop their technical knowledge and understanding.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Contributing to the management of portfolio performance through the analysis of results, supporting the execution of our selection and pricing strategies and providing recommendations that will drive continuous performance improvement, contributing to meeting or exceeding our financial plans.
    • Working alongside the Product Performance Analysts within the team, providing them with direction and support to improve their knowledge and utilising their skills to support the delivery of our strategic goals.
    • Providing input to the development of our underwriting appetite for our product(s) based on your market knowledge and product expertise to take advantage of market opportunities.
    • Working with the operational leadership team & technical training team to help identify training needs and support employee development through feedback, coaching and training to improve team competency and performance.
    • Always aiming to get things right first time, achieving the agreed levels of quality.
    • Act as our first line of defence. Understand and adhere to the zero-tolerance fraud strategy by identifying and referring potentially fraudulent activity to the Policy Validation Unit within the required timeframe.
    • Having significant awareness of and ensuring adherence to all regulatory requirements, guidelines and working practices – both internally and externally.
    • Understand and adhere to the complaint handling process, attempting to resolve complaints informally whenever possible and referring any unresolved complaints to the escalation point or Customer Relations within the specified timeframe.
    • Support and actively demonstrate through behaviours, interactions and appearance, the high-performance culture IQUW aspires to develop.

    The above duties and responsibilities are not an exhaustive list and you may be required to undertake any other reasonable duties compatible with your experience and competencies. This description may be varied from time to time to reflect changing business requirements.
