  • Underwrite to complex and challenging risks while developing creative solutions for our partners.
  • Work closely with our in-house claims team to help create a positive and transparent experience for our customers.
  • Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

  • At least 5 years of Professional Indemnity underwriting experience.
  • Solid underwriting fundamentals with specialties in Professional Indemnity.
  • Existing broker and customer relationships, or the experience and ability to develop strong broker and customer relationships quickly.
  • Experience trading with specialised brokers is preferred.
  • Strong collaboration and team building skills.
  • Strong communication skills including negotiation, written communication and presentation experience.
  • Degree or equivalent education, and/or insurance qualifications.
  • BHSI Offers:

  • A competitive package and exciting growth opportunities for career-oriented teammates.
  • A dynamic, action oriented, and thoughtful environment centered on always doing the right thing for our customers, teammates and our other stakeholders.
