Apply for the Deputy Head of Credit & Surety
Location: London
Job Description:

An exciting opportunity has become available at a leading global insurance organisation for an experienced professional to take ownership of a growing book of credit & surety business, as well as deputise for the head of the function.

As an established player in credit insurance markets, this company is looking for a talented senior underwriter to manage SME and Mid-Market deals. They are a leader in provision for SME default among Travel Agents, Estate Agents, Contractors, Suppliers and other similar organisations.

In this role, you will oversee the full transaction lifecycle — from portfolio and risk analysis to deal structuring and owning broker relationships. You will lead the function as required, often being the key point of contact both internally and externally.

You will contribute to the firm’s business development efforts by originating new opportunities and building strong relationships with brokers and clients. This may involve attending industry events, conferences, and client meetings to represent the organisation as a trusted partner.

The ideal candidate will have experience with underwriting trade credit or micro-surety, ideally for SME or mid-market business but those with transferrable exposure and leadership skills should apply. This could be a good opportunity for an actuary, exposure manager or credit risk analyst who would be interested in moving into underwriting.

If you want to be part of key growth strategy and to be at the forefront of risk taking decisions, this is a great opportunity for you.
