We've recently joined forces with our Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) business, a leading global corporate insurance carrier across more than 30 countries and a key business unit of the Allianz Group. This is creating a one 'face to market' bringing together the best of Allianz to our mid and large corporate customers; trading as 'Allianz Commercial'.
This is an exciting opportunity for us and one which will provide significant strides in our journey towards becoming the UK's Number 1 Commercial Insurer. Bringing together Allianz UK and AGCS as 'One Allianz' will drive profitable growth across this important segment and establish ourselves as the employer of choice. There's a lot of work to be done to bring together our combined strengths, expertise and assets and so the collaboration of our people is key to the success of this.
As a result of this proposition we're seeking an experienced Property and/or Casualty Senior Underwriter to join us.
Role description
Allianz Commercial has an ambition to grow significantly over the coming years and the development of our offering to satisfy and support the increasing demand from customers with a turnover in excess of £500m is a key aspect of the growth aspiration.
At Allianz Commercial we combine specialist expertise and global reach with high levels of AA rated underwriting capacity to industry specific exposures. This allows us to establish a reputation as leaders of some of the largest and most complex risks in the market.
This role will play a key part in the continued development of our offering to our clients, including driving and building key relationships across our market as we look to satisfy our clients' needs and grow the account. It will also mean strong collaboration across the Allianz Commercial family working to create opportunities across the mid, large corporate space including multinational aspects.
The role will require strong technical underwriting knowledge in the Property and/or Casualty lines of business, as you will be responsible for underwriting key accounts, driving intelligent new business growth and acting as a senior authority holder within the business.
