The Role
We’re building something bigger, and better, that makes delivering change across our organisation easier, smarter and genuinely enjoyable for colleagues. M&G Life supports over 5 million customers with more than £300bn invested across our products, working with partners including Equiniti, Diligenta, Waystone, Paragon, Willis Towers Watson and M&G Global Services.
We’re looking for a Senior Underwriter to help M&G Life deliver its strategic priorities, for our Annuity products.
This is a unique opportunity to join a newly established underwriting function supporting the launch and growth of an exciting new annuity proposition. As an early member of the team, you will have the chance to shape underwriting practices, influence processes and contribute directly to the success of the proposition.
Alongside delivering high-quality underwriting decisions, you will be expected to contribute across a range of activities including process design, testing, training, operational readiness, governance, customer journey development and continuous improvement initiatives.
We are looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys solving problems and is excited by the opportunity to build new capabilities rather than simply operate within established processes.
Our ideal candidate has strong underwriting experience across life, pensions or investment products. You are proactive and adaptable, bringing a continuous improvement mindset and a willingness to take ownership of tasks and outcomes. You apply critical thinking to interpret data from multiple sources, using digital underwriting tools and automation to turn complex information into clear insights that support effective commercial decision making.
We’d love to hear from you if you’re someone who’s genuinely curious - the kind of person who asks thoughtful questions and digs a little deeper to understand what’s really going on. You enjoy working with others and naturally bring people together, even when things feel a bit unclear. You think ahead, notice patterns early and stay focused on creating real value for the people around you.
Most of all, you care about making things better - for colleagues, for customers, and for the workplace as a whole.
If this sounds like you, we want you to apply!
