Algorithmic Underwriting Lead

We are seeking a talented individual to join our Portfolio Solutions – Fast Track team at Marsh Risk. This role will be based in London, Norwich or Birmingham. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

The Algorithmic Underwriting Lead is responsible for managing the rules engine that drives underwriting decisioning across Fast Track. This includes decisions made with no human referral, underwriting recommendations provided to Account Managers, decisioning for the initial in-scoping process, and the automated bind process.

The role ensures that decisioning operates within the limits of the Underwriting Framework and delivers accurate, reliable, and commercially appropriate outcomes. Where outcomes are not binary, the rules engine should support Account Managers to make sound value judgments on the risk in question.

Working closely with the Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO) , Technical Underwriting Managers , and the Underwriting Oversight & Controls Manager , the Automated Underwriting Lead will continuously improve the performance, reliability, and sophistication of the rules engine. The role will also identify opportunities to enhance the Underwriting Framework itself to enable greater automation, while maintaining underwriting accuracy and positive outcomes for clients and insurers.

Own and manage the rules engine that underpins automated underwriting decisioning for Fast Track.

Ensure the engine supports:

automated underwriting decisions with no human referral

underwriting recommendations for Account Managers

initial in-scope / out-of-scope decisioning

automated bind processing

Ensure all decisions made by the rules engine remain within the boundaries of the Underwriting Framework.
