Head of Property & Casualty

An established and fast-growing MGA is seeking a Head of Property & Casualty to lead and develop its property underwriting portfolio as part of an ambitious growth strategy. Reporting directly to the CEO, this senior leadership role offers significant autonomy and influence over underwriting strategy, broker engagement, and portfolio performance. You will play a key role in shaping the future direction of the business while driving profitable growth within a delegated authority environment.

• Lead the property underwriting function, ensuring profitable portfolio performance aligned to risk appetite and strategy
• Build and strengthen senior broker relationships to drive sustainable growth and retention

This is a rare opportunity to step into a genuinely influential leadership role within a fast‑growing, entrepreneurial MGA where your expertise will directly shape underwriting strategy and business performance. Reporting to the CEO, you will have real autonomy, visibility, and a seat at the table as the business executes ambitious growth plans. Unlike more traditional or layered organisations, this role offers the chance to build, evolve, and lead a portfolio with the backing of an experienced leadership team, strong broker relationships, and a collaborative culture that values innovation, commercial thinking, and decision‑making.

For a senior property underwriter looking to elevate their impact and career trajectory, this role stands out for its scope, pace, and long‑term progression potential.

• Experience in property underwriting, including senior portfolio or leadership roles
• Proven track record of delivering profitable growth within an MGA or delegated authority environment
