Position Overview

We are currently looking for a Head of Construction Underwriting to be based in Madrid on a full-time basis, reporting into the Head of Underwriting, Spain.

Munich Re Specialty was formed as a stand-alone division in 2023, and brings together the wider Munich Re group’s primary specialty business units.

  • Maintain and execute the Construction underwriting authority delegation and referral processes in Spain.
  • Monitor insurance market trends and developments in Spain in order to make adjustments as appropriate to underwriting policy and strategy.
  • Coach and lead a high-performance Construction underwriting team; play an integral part in the attraction, recruitment, and retention of required talents.
  • Conduct and develop effective relationships with insureds and brokers, to both strengthen existing trading relationships and secure new business that falls within the Underwriting business plan.

Knowledge and Skills:

  • Demonstrated ability in an executive leadership position, ideally as Head of Construction UW.
  • In-depth knowledge of exposure and experience rating processes.
  • Possess personal qualities of integrity, credibility, and commitment to corporate mission.
  • Excellent communication (written, verbal, and presentation), interpersonal and networking skills with all levels of organizations.
  • Strategic and forward-thinking with a proven track record of general business management, including planning and forecasting.
  • Language skills, Spanish and English are a must.
  • Significant experience within primary insurance underwriting.
  • University degree and/or relevant professional qualification.

If you are excited about this role but your experience does not align perfectly with everything outlined, or you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be the candidate we are looking for
