Job Description

Overall Job Purpose


The Executive Underwriter – Operations is accountable for providing enterprise-level underwriting governance, technical assurance, and decision quality oversight across the underwriting value chain. The role exists to protect PPS’s risk position and mutuality model by ensuring underwriting decisions, rules, and processes are consistent, defensible, and aligned to policy, delegation of authority, and long-term sustainability.
The role acts as the technical conscience of underwriting operations—independent from production pressures—providing oversight of complex decisions, mandates, quality assurance, governance forums, and continuous improvement initiatives. It supports innovation, automation, and rule optimisation while safeguarding judgement-led underwriting excellence.
