About Everest:
Everest is a global leader in risk management, rooted in a rich, 50+ year heritage of enabling businesses to survive and thrive, and economies to function and flourish. We are underwriters of risk, growth, progress and opportunity. We are a global team focused on disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation for all stakeholders, who care deeply about our impact on communities and the wider world.
Shape the future of General Aviation underwriting at Everest!
Everest Insurance is continuing its strategic build‑out of the Aviation platform, and this is a rare opportunity to join the Aviation team at a pivotal stage of growth. We are looking for a Senior General Aviation Underwriter to play a leading role in expanding a high‑potential portfolio within a business that combines entrepreneurial agility with global strength.
This is more than a pure underwriting role, it is a chance to influence strategy, shape underwriting appetite, and build a market‑leading presence in the London Market.
Why Everest Aviation?
Everest has been investing significantly in its international insurance platform, with Aviation positioned as a core specialty line. The proposition combines:
A focused, growth‑oriented platform with strong backing and appetite for innovation
Access to global distribution and reinsurance capabilities, enabling complex and bespoke solutions
A collaborative underwriting culture across classes, supporting cross‑class insight and portfolio optimisation
Clear ambition to become a leading London Market player, measured by underwriting discipline and sustainable ROE
Within General Aviation, you will have the opportunity to build and scale a portfolio with genuine ownership, supported by a business that values underwriting excellence over volume.
The Opportunity
As the Senior Underwriter, you will take ownership of the profitable growth and development of the General Aviation portfolio, contributing directly to Everest’s wider aviation strategy. You will operate with significant autonomy, while influencing the direction of the class and helping position Everest as a go‑to market for brokers and clients in the GA space.
Key Responsibilities
Build, grow and actively manage a profitable, sustainable portfolio
Define and implement underwriting appetite, strategy and guidelines
Analyse portfolio performance and refine approach to optimise returns
Collaborate across underwriting classes to deliver best‑in‑class solutions
Support the development of reinsurance strategy
Represent Everest in the London and international markets, building strong broker relationships
Ensure adherence to governance standards across aggregation and reporting
Play a key role in building and developing a high‑performing GA team
Work closely with Claims, Reserving, Distribution and Ceded Re to deliver a fully aligned underwriting approach
What We’re Looking For
Strong General Aviation underwriting experience within the London Market (Lloyd’s or Company Market)
Proven ability to build or materially contribute to a profitable underwriting portfolio
Commercially astute, with a strong grasp of pricing, risk selection and portfolio management
Credibility with brokers, clients and internal stakeholders
Strategic mindset with the ability to translate ideas into actionable plans
A collaborative approach and ability to leverage global resources across a platform
High levels of drive, ownership and accountability
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Why This Role Stands Out
This role will particularly appeal to individuals who are:
Looking to step into a broader, more strategic underwriting position
Motivated by the opportunity to build something and have visible impact
Interested in joining a business where underwriting discipline and growth are genuinely aligned
Currently in a role where portfolio ownership or flexibility is limited, and looking for greater influence
What if I don’t meet every requirement? At Everest we are dedicated to building an inclusive and authentic workplace. So, if you are excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every element in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. Please let us know if you need any accommodations throughout the application or interview process.
