Senior Credit Reinsurance Underwriter - Bermuda (Relocation Supported)
Requirements
Candidates should have at least 3 years of credit reinsurance experience, though 10+ years is ideal for senior profiles. Strong technical underwriting skills and existing market relationships are essential for success in this role.
Job Description
Senior Credit Reinsurance Underwriter - Bermuda (Relocation Supported)
Are you ready to build something from the ground up?
A well-established, A-rated (re)insurer is investing seriously in credit reinsurance, and looking for a senior underwriter to lead the charge. This isn't a seat on an existing book - it's a genuine opportunity to build a platform from scratch, with real autonomy and the backing of a business that already writes over $1bn in reinsurance premium and has the client relationships to match.
The role
You'll be the market-facing face of a new credit reinsurance franchise: producing business, growing a portfolio, and shaping how it develops over the next few years. Expect quota share and excess of loss structures, direct broker and client relationships, and the freedom to underwrite independently rather than follow someone else's playbook.
What we're looking for
Around 3+ years of credit reinsurance experience, a strong underwriting background, and a genuine understanding of the credit reinsurance market - quota share, excess of loss, and the dynamics that drive it. You should be comfortable assessing and pricing risk on your own, and you should already have relationships in the market that you can bring with you.
Titles matter less than what you actually do. If you're technically an Assistant Underwriter, Deputy, or Senior Analyst but you're market-facing, manage relationships, influence underwriting decisions, and carry real portfolio responsibility, we want to hear from you. Ideally you'll have 10+ years in the space, gravitas with brokers, and possibly an existing book - but exceptional junior-to-mid-level talent will absolutely still be considered.
Bringing your team
If you're a senior producer who wants to bring people with you - a number two, an analyst, portfolio support - that's very much on the table. We'll evaluate the business case seriously, especially where a meaningful book comes with it.
Location
Bermuda is preferred, but the right person matters more than geography. London, Zurich and other European locations are open for discussion, and relocation packages are generous - full support with immigration, work permits and logistics is already in place.
This search is being run on a confidential basis. All enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
