About the Role

We're looking for a Portfolio Manager to own the performance of our insurance book end-to-end. You'll combine technical insurance expertise with a commercial, data-driven mindset to steer the portfolio toward sustainable, profitable growth.

What You'll Do

• Own portfolio performance: monitor loss ratios, mix, concentration, and profitability across product lines.

• Identify underperforming segments and design interventions across pricing, underwriting, and distribution.

• Set and refine underwriting appetite and guidelines in partnership with underwriters and actuaries.

• Build dashboards and reporting that give the business a clear view of portfolio health.

• Lead reinsurance discussions and capital efficiency initiatives.

• Translate portfolio insights into product, pricing, and wording changes.

What We're Looking For

• 2–3+ years in portfolio management, performance management, or a similar role at a traditional carrier.

• Strong technical capability across pricing, underwriting, and policy wording.

• Experience managing or analyzing books spanning multiple product lines.

• Comfortable with data: able to interrogate loss triangles, rate adequacy, and mix shifts.

• Commercial mindset with the ability to make trade-offs between growth and profitability.

• Willing and able to work from our office six days per week.

Bonus Points

• Experience setting underwriting appetite or guidelines for a new product or new market entry.

• Exposure to reinsurance structuring and treaty negotiation.

• Background that bridges actuarial and underwriting functions.

• Experience in a high-growth or early-stage insurance environment.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary of £65,000–£85,000, depending on experience.

• Equity options.

• Direct ownership of a critical function in a high-growth insurance business.
