Development Underwriter (Technology) Manchester or Leeds | Hybrid & Field-Based Across Northern UK Permanent | Full-Time Help Shape the Future of Technology Insurance at Markel ! Technology is one of Markel's fastest-growing and most exciting specialist sectors. Our Technology portfolio is outperforming expectations, delivering exceptional growth and creating new opportunities across the UK market. As we continue to invest in our people, products and broker partnerships, we're looking for an ambitious, market-facing Development Underwriter to help drive the next phase of our success across the North of England. This isn't a traditional underwriting role. This is a rare opportunity to build relationships, influence growth strategy, develop a portfolio and become a recognised presence in one of the UK's most dynamic insurance sectors. If you're someone who enjoys getting out into the market, opening doors, developing broker relationships and winning new business, we'd love to hear from you. Why This Opportunity Stands Out: You'll be joining a business that's investing heavily in Technology and Cyber, backed by a growing specialist underwriting team and a market-leading proposition. You'll benefit from: · The opportunity to help shape and grow one of Markel's highest-performing portfolios · Significant autonomy and ownership over your region and broker relationships · Strong support from an established Technology underwriting team · Existing broker relationships and opportunities already in place · Exposure to innovative and fast-growing technology businesses · A clear pathway for long-term career development within a growing specialist team · Quarterly bonus opportunity with uncapped growth potential · The chance to become a recognised face in the Northern Technology insurance market What You'll Be Doing: As a Development Underwriter, you'll play a key role in expanding Markel's Technology proposition across the North of England. Your focus will be on creating and strengthening broker relationships, identifying opportunities and delivering profitable growth. Key responsibilities include: · Developing and managing relationships with brokers across the Northern market · Building pipeline and generating new business opportunities across Technology Professional Indemnity and Cyber · Representing Markel in the market through regular broker visits, networking and industry events · Working closely with distribution and underwriting colleagues to convert opportunities into profitable business · Delivering presentations and promoting Markel's specialist Technology proposition · Identifying and developing strategic broker partnerships · Supporting growth plans across Technology and Cyber portfolios · Contributing market insight and helping shape our future trading strategy This is a highly visible, externally focused role where relationship-building and commercial thinking are just as important as technical underwriting capability. Who We're Looking For: We're interested in people who can build trust, create opportunities and develop lasting broker relationships. Applicants must have a PI underwriting background. You might currently be: · A Development Underwriter · A Technology or Cyber Underwriter · A Professional Indemnity Underwriter · A Senior Underwriter looking for a more market-facing role · A Broker Account Executive with strong market relationships and commercial instincts Experience in Technology underwriting would be valuable, but it isn't essential. What's more important is your ability to engage people, identify opportunities and drive growth. We're particularly interested in individuals who are: · Relationship-focused and commercially minded · Confident meeting brokers and building market presence · Highly motivated by growth and business development · Self-driven and comfortable managing their own territory · Energetic, engaging and collaborative · Passionate about delivering outstanding broker experiences About the Team: You'll join a growing Science & Technology team working alongside highly respected specialists in the market. You'll work closely with experienced leaders and Technology specialists while helping build Markel's presence across one of the most exciting sectors in insurance. Our culture is collaborative, entrepreneurial and supportive. We value individuals who want to contribute, share ideas and make a genuine impact. What You'll Get: · Competitive salary · Quarterly bonus opportunity (target 20% of salary) · Hybrid and flexible working · Private Medical Insurance · Life Assurance · Income Protection · Generous holiday allowance with buy/sell options · Professional qualification support · Ongoing learning and career development · A collaborative environment where success is recognised and rewarded Ready to Make Your Mark? If you're excited by the prospect of building relationships, developing market presence and helping drive the continued growth of a thriving Technology portfolio, we'd love to hear from you.
