Wordings Specialist

We are delighted to be partnering with this world-leading insurance company that is seeking a talented Wordings Specialist. We are happy to consider applications from both current Wordings professionals, as well as technically-focused insurance or legal professionals who are genuinely excited about transitioning into this kind of role. This is a rare situation because this is usually a London based role. However, this insurer is keen to secure someone within the ‘regions’, in order to be more accessible to their regional offices (Leeds, Manchester or Birmingham). This insurer is arguably the most exciting insurer in the market right now and you will see it regularly in the press; for winning national awards, hiring some of the brightest minds in the industry, and developing new, innovative product lines. This position has arisen as a result of the company’s impressive expansion; it is enjoying 20% year on year growth, and is on track to double in size over the next 5 years. Not only is this an opportune time to join the company, this organisation is extremely well-renowned for its culture; many of its staff citing, “this is the best employer I have ever worked for.” In fact, it is difficult to find someone in this company who hasn’t recently had, or is on track to receive, a promotion. This Contract Wordings role supports this global insurer’s UK division. Reporting directly into the Head of Technical Wordings, you will work closely with a team of experienced policy wording drafters, supporting insurance products across the distribution channels of open market, direct to customer and delegated authority. You will have a dotted line into the UK Director of Underwriting, and you’ll be expected to work with underwriters and leadership, drawing on the wider International Technical Wordings Team, to deliver wordings support, including on cross divisional projects. Duties will include, but not be limited to, providing reviews and advice on various retail wordings and products, keeping abreast of emerging trends including regulatory, legal and market developments, and providing advice to underwriters to ensure the sharing of technical knowledge and consistency of approach to wordings. In addition, you’ll ensure wordings are compliant with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, as well as being involved with ad hoc projects. You will have a broad knowledge of the general insurance market, together with a deep understanding of FCA requirements around policy wordings. In addition, you’ll have experience of collaborating with senior stakeholders, and strong project management capability. You’ll have excellent analytical and interpretation skills, with strong attention to detail. You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions. Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, although you are of course welcome to work from one of our client’s stunning regional offices as much as you like.
