Underwriter

Cyber Underwriter | International Insurance Group in Brussels

For one of our clients, we are currently looking for a Cyber Underwriter to strengthen its growing Corporate Insurance team in Brussels.

Our client is a leading international insurance group with strong expertise in Corporate and Industrial risks. Combining the capabilities of a global organization with an entrepreneurial local approach, the company works with large and complex organizations and is currently investing significantly in the development of its Belgian activities.

With strong growth ambitions for the coming years, the company is expanding its local underwriting capabilities across several strategic insurance lines.

This position represents an excellent opportunity to join a growing Belgian operation, develop your expertise in one of the most rapidly evolving areas of Corporate Insurance and directly contribute to the development of the company's Cyber portfolio in Belgium.

Role

As a Cyber Underwriter, you will contribute to the development and management of a portfolio of Corporate Cyber risks.

You will combine risk assessment, analytical thinking and commercial insight to understand clients' exposures, evaluate new business opportunities and structure appropriate insurance solutions.

Beyond pure underwriting, you will play an important role in developing relationships with brokers and corporate clients. The company is therefore open to candidates with different backgrounds who combine an understanding of business risks with strong commercial capabilities.
