Cyber SME Underwriter

Department: Cyber

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: US - New York

Compensation: $90,000 - $100,000 / year

Description

At CFC, we do things differently. We're a specialist insurance provider built on curiosity, collaboration and a genuine passion for innovation - especially in cyber. As our US cyber business continues to grow, we're looking for a Cyber Underwriter to join our team in New York and play a key role in supporting our admitted cyber offering.

This is a brilliant opportunity for an early-career cyber underwriter who enjoys a fast-paced environment, values strong broker relationships, and wants to deepen their technical knowledge while being commercial, visible, and influential in the market.

About the role

In this role, you'll work within CFC USA's underwriting appetite to deliver low-touch admitted cyber quotes outside of the Connect platform, making sure brokers receive a timely, high-quality service within agreed SLAs and underwriting authority. You'll handle accounts primarily in the SME space, balancing technical underwriting with responsiveness and commercial judgement.

You'll spend a significant part of your time engaging with brokers - meeting new partners, supporting quoting and binding activity, and helping them understand the value of CFC's admitted cyber platform for their clients. You'll be comfortable explaining coverage, highlighting product features and enhancements, and supporting new product launches as part of a wider, collaborative cyber team.

Alongside underwriting and broker engagement, you'll manage new business and retention activity for key broker partners, deal with ad-hoc enquiries, contribute to reporting and performance monitoring, and represent CFC at relevant internal and external industry events.

About you

What matters most is your curiosity, drive, and enthusiasm for cyber underwriting.

Ideally you'll have experience working in a cyber assistant role, with a solid grounding in cyber underwriting risk and a genuine interest in developing your technical expertise. You enjoy working under pressure, can think analytically about risk, and take pride in delivering clear, accurate and timely work.

You'll ideally bring existing relationships within the US cyber insurance community and a foundational understanding of related lines such as professional liability or technology E&O. You're tech-savvy, quick to learn new systems, and happy working across Microsoft Office tools and CFC's proprietary platforms.
