What Is the Opportunity?

Travelers is looking for an exceptional Senior Development Underwriter to join our successful Technology Underwriting team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our portfolio.

You'll bring a strong foundation in new business underwriting, underpinned by deep technical expertise across one or more of the following lines: Technology, PI, Cyber or Life Sciences/ Med Tech. You'll combine rigorous risk assessment with outstanding relationship-building skills — negotiating terms with confidence and presenting our products with conviction.

In this role, you'll take ownership of the full submission lifecycle, proactively managing quotes and binds to consistently deliver against target conversion ratios. Through close, strategic partnerships with brokers, you'll develop tailored insurance solutions that meet client needs while driving sustainable profitability across your assigned portfolio.

If you are a decisive, technically driven underwriter who is ready to make a meaningful contribution to a business that values both expertise and ambition, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Prepare, lead and present Underwriting Reviews for individual policies or portfolios/schemes and manage action points.
  • Cultivate and maintain relationships with internal partners within the business unit and across the enterprise to identify cross-selling opportunities.
  • Foster and maintain relationships with brokers by phone, email or other communication channels to market and sell Travelers products with a goal of writing and retaining accounts consistent with our risk appetite. Must be able to travel to meetings.
  • Develop and execute pipeline plans and support the renewal team in the retention of business that aligns with the team’s sales plans to drive success working in partnership with the sales team.
  • Train and mentor less experienced underwriters.
  • Support and collaboration for more junior members of the team, including referrals.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
