• Drive profitable growth by identifying and securing new business opportunities across key APAC markets, while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk selection. 

• Prepare and negotiate quotes, proposals, and bind risks within delegated authority, ensuring contract clarity and compliance. 

• Develop and maintain strong relationships with brokers, cedents, and clients across the full APAC region to support long-term portfolio development.

• Support the development and mentoring of junior underwriters, fostering a collaborative and high-performance team culture. 

• Apply both analytical tools (including catastrophe models and AI-enabled underwriting platforms) and professional judgement to support consistent, high-quality underwriting decisions. 

• Contribute to continuous improvement of underwriting processes, tools, and governance frameworks. 

• Travel across APAC markets as required to support business development and relationship management. 

Qualifications, Education & Experience
