Description
One of CFC’s most exciting teams are looking for someone with previous underwriting or broking experience to join them to progress their career in Insurance. Our US Technology Underwriting Team is at the forefront of underwriting emerging SME technology risks in the US and has enjoyed rapid growth over the last few years.
This has opened a new opportunity for an ambitious professional who is excited by the prospect of joining a fast-growing, innovative organisation. We offer a cross-class package solution including E&O, Cyber and General Liability – giving you broad exposure.
As the internet has evolved, so have we, providing fresh solutions for the range of industries spawned from the digital revolution. We are consistently exploring developing technology and looking for new ways to provide first class support to the world’s most creative and disruptive new businesses, whilst understanding how quickly the risks facing these emerging industries can evolve.
About the role
You will be involved in all aspects of underwriting including new business and renewal underwriting for E&O driven business in the US. You will develop and underwrite profitable business, working closely with your manager and underwriting colleagues in a variety of areas, including new business development, complex renewal accounts, building broker relationships and responding to tech queries from other product line underwriters.
- Respond to new business enquiries and renewal submissions from brokers in a timely and professional manner, delivering a first class service to produce quotations within agreed SLAs and authority parameters;
- Prepare and deliver internal and external presentations on CFC products, key trends and emerging exposures;
- Contribute effectively to team performance standards;
- Market team capabilities through existing contacts and new relationships including attending ad-hoc business trips to the US as required.
- Assist with the production of reports and statistics to support the monitoring of team performance.
About you
We are looking for a driven self-starter with a strong work ethic who can contribute to a fast-paced working environment and excel within a high performance team. The successful candidate will possess a sales and service-oriented approach, demonstrate confidence and professionalism both on the phone and in meetings with brokers, and show a clear drive and capability to support the growth of the team.
The ideal candidate will have a proven experience within the insurance industry with a background in underwriting or broking in E&O, Tech/Cyber or Financial Lines. Strong business development skills are essential and exposure to US business would be an advantage but not a necessity. Given the emerging and evolving nature of our class of insurance, a successful candidate will have an interest in this area and be keen to stay on top of current affairs within the industry.
You will be expected to work at a high pace and intensity that underpins the successful framework of the CFC business and develop relationships with internal and external stakeholders to support our ambitious growth plans.

We show up each day ready to take on the world. Our passion and intensity set us apart and makes the difference to our colleagues, customers, brokers and carriers.
Challenge everything:
We’re never afraid to question the way that things are done and we constantly challenge ourselves and others to makes things better.
Have fun, be good:
Insurance is a serious business, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We make it fun to work at CFC, we welcome all viewpoints, and we treat everyone how we would expect to be treated.
