Reporting To: Harry Spillett

Our Technology team is at the forefront of emerging technology with high penetration in the most dynamic territory globally, the US. You’ll be insuring progressive US based tech firms (where novel is the norm) from start-up to maturity in a highly developed regulatory landscape that is constantly evolving.

About the role

As a Tech Assistant Underwriter, you’ll take a holistic approach to tech businesses’ insurance needs, writing multiple classes (including E&O, Cyber, GL, and Property) with a focus on the US market. You’ll manage all aspects of underwriting for designated broker accounts, including renewals and new business, while building and developing your own long-term broker relationships.

• Handle broker enquiries promptly and professionally, delivering renewals and new business quotes within agreed SLAs.
• Apply scheme criteria, pricing, and rating accurately; implement open market guidelines where relevant.
• Communicate product features, benefits, and coverage enhancements; support launches and raise awareness of new and existing products.
• Assist with planning and delivering internal/external presentations on CFC products and technology trends.
• Research technology classes, legislation, and compliance issues to build subject matter expertise.
• Contribute to team projects, including product enhancements, new launches, and process improvements.
• Help achieve team performance targets and standards.
• Support planning and execution of business development trips/events; accompany the team to broker/client meetings as appropriate.
• Maintain and update renewal and prospect lists; complete administrative tasks as required.
• Assist the Team Leader with MI, reporting, and data analysis to support decision-making.

About you

We’re seeking driven self-starters with a strong work ethic who thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. You’ll bring a sales- and service-focused approach, demonstrating confidence and professionalism in broker interactions both over the phone and in meetings, with a clear ambition to support team growth.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience in the insurance industry from either a broking or underwriting background, a genuine interest in technology and the desire to develop technical underwriting and business development skills to become a trusted advisor within the CFC Tech team.

You’ll be expected to operate at pace, contribute to the success framework of CFC, and build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
