You’ll be working in a corporate niche UMA environment that promotes autonomy, strategic decision-making, and encourages innovative, forward-thinking.
You’ll collaborate closely with brokers and clients, building trusted relationships through regular engagement, clear communication, and exceptional service.

What you’ll do day-to-day:
Underwrite within delegated authority, prepare quotations, review survey reports, manage accounts, resolve broker queries, and support colleagues when needed — all while growing your technical expertise across rating tools, methodologies, and risk assessment.
In return, you’ll enjoy:
- A competitive CTC package (including pension, medical aid, group life, and cell phone allowance)
- A performance bonus structure
