Senior Casualty Underwriter

Senior Casualty Underwriter – Lloyd’s Syndicate
Location: London (Hybrid, 2–3 days in office)
Salary: Competitive 

We are working exclusively with a rapidly scaling Lloyd’s Syndicate backed by a global carrier, seeking a Senior Casualty Underwriter to join their specialist Healthcare & Life Sciences division in London. This is a unique opportunity to help build out an evolving portfolio with true international reach, shaping client propositions and product development from the ground up.

The Opportunity Following the retirement of a long-standing casualty underwriter, there’s now a strategic hire being made to strengthen the Medical Malpractice and Casualty proposition, with a clear path toward growing open market, retail-led business in the UK and internationally.
With a large book (55% wholesale/DUA via the syndicate), the team is now pivoting toward retail open market growth, focusing on packaged MedMal and Casualty offerings, with Property and Cyber being integrated.

You’ll play a key role in underwriting complex international risks (excluding the US), working closely with a diverse team of 9 underwriters across London and global offices, including Spain, Israel, Canada, and Singapore.

What You'll Do

• Lead and underwrite a portfolio of casualty and medical malpractice business, with a focus on open market retail.
• Work closely with Healthcare and Tech teams to create integrated product propositions (Property & Cyber to follow).
• Act as a referral and SME point for international teams in Spain and other global offices.
• Develop business from regional brokers, particularly as the UK footprint grows with regional hires.
• Help shape and evolve product wordings, drawing on your technical strength in MedMal and Casualty.
• Support the team’s transition from DUA to open market with a clear growth mandate and underwriting autonomy.

Who You Are

• An experienced casualty underwriter with strong exposure to medical malpractice, life sciences, or healthcare liability.
• Comfortable underwriting retail and international open market business (Israel, Canada, Cyprus, etc.).
• Commercial, entrepreneurial, and collaborative – with a desire to contribute to a growing, flexible team.
• Prior Lloyd’s/London market experience essential; experience with DUA and lead underwriting desirable.
• Exposure to international business (Europe, Asia, MENA) and non-US focused portfolios preferred.

Why Join?

• A rare chance to join a genuinely entrepreneurial team with backing from a global platform.
• Work with a high-quality, cross-functional team led by respected leaders in the market
• Enjoy flexible working (2–3 days in-office) with no rigid mandates – and a team culture built on trust and delivery.
