Are you a Motor Trade Underwriter who wants more trust, more flexibility and the chance to trade with brokers properly rather than just process work?
This is a fully remote role with real autonomy, backed by an established insurer with a strong presence in the broker market and genuine appetite across commercial motor trade.
It's not a role where you are left to sit in a queue and just churn through renewals - you'll be part of a supportive underwriting environment where technical judgment, broker relationships and profitable growth all matter.
The opportunity
- You will underwrite both new and existing Motor Trade business, working closely with brokers and internal colleagues to build and develop a profitable book.
- There is room here to make decisions, add value and be recognised for your underwriting ability.
- You will also be joining a business that takes flexible working seriously, so this suits someone who wants home working as standard without losing the backing, structure and opportunity of a major insurer.
What the role looks like
You will be trusted to handle a range of commercial motor trade risks, trade with brokers and help shape profitable outcomes across the portfolio.
The work covers both new business and existing accounts, with a clear focus on service, relationship management and underwriting discipline.
Responsibilities
- Underwrite new and existing commercial Motor Trade risks
- Trade with brokers and build long-term relationships
- Assess risk, negotiate terms and support profitable growth
- Manage cases in line with underwriting appetite, service standards and governance
- Work closely with colleagues across the wider mid-market and commercial teams
- Contribute ideas around service, trading and portfolio improvement
Who this could suit
- An experienced Motor Trade Underwriter from an insurer or broker environment
- Someone who enjoys the trading side of underwriting, not just the admin
- A technically sound underwriter who can balance service with profitability
- A relationship-led individual who is credible with brokers
- Someone organised, collaborative and confident enough to make decisions and ask questions
You do not need to tick every box perfectly - what matters most is solid motor trade underwriting experience, the right attitude and the ability to trade.
The business
- You would be joining a well-backed insurer with a strong UK broker distribution model, established commercial lines capability and a people-first culture.
- The environment is inclusive, supportive and grown-up.
- There is flexibility in how people work, investment in development and a clear focus on doing business properly rather than chasing volume at any cost.

- Salary up to £55,000
- Fully remote working
- Flexitime and part-time or alternative working patterns considered
- 36.25 hour week
- Annual pay review
- Performance-related bonus
