Senior Credit Underwriter Job at City of London Full Time NEW

Location: UK or EU (Remote)

Preferred Start Date: As soon as possible

Experience: 10+ years

About Us

Verdant Rock is a fast-growing insurance company headquartered in Bermuda, providing financial guarantees to sovereigns, sub-sovereigns and project finance vehicles across emerging markets. You will join a best-in-class underwriting team, and we are now seeking two Senior Credit Underwriters at an inflection point in our growth.

You will assess high-value underwriting opportunities at scale within well-defined time frames, working alongside a team of experienced professionals who share an uncompromising commitment to underwriting discipline.

What You Will Bring

• A minimum of ten years’ experience in credit insurance, political risk insurance, or financial guarantees — with deep familiarity with emerging market risk dynamics.
• A track record built at a blue-chip insurance organisation; you will be comfortable with the rigour and governance standards that entails.
• An impeccable underwriting record — you make considered, defensible decisions and stand behind them.
• Strong academic background, ideally in finance, economics, law, or a related discipline.
• The ability to operate at pace without sacrificing analytical depth —assessing complex credit and political risk structures within defined timelines.

Why Verdant Rock

Verdant Rock is growing quickly in a market where the demand for quality financial guarantee capacity materially outstrips supply. You will have real influence over underwriting philosophy, portfolio construction, and the culture of a team being built from the ground up. Compensation reflects the seniority and scarcity of the profile we are seeking.

How to Apply
