Underwriting Technician

Avencia are partnered with a leading global specialty insurer looking for two Underwriting Support Technicians to join its centralised London Market operations function.

Sitting within the Risk team, you'll provide post-bind support across a broad range of specialty classes, including Energy, Marine, Cyber and Professional & Financial Risks. You'll work closely with underwriting teams to ensure policy information is processed accurately and efficiently, while developing broader technical knowledge across the business.

This could be a great move for someone in their second insurance role who wants to broaden their exposure across multiple classes without becoming pigeonholed. The team offers opportunities to build technical knowledge and potentially develop into senior technical, data-quality, process-improvement or wider insurance operations positions.

The business offers flexible hybrid working, with a minimum of two days per week in its London office
