Are you the one who will lead us on the journey to serve our large customers with their Property and Liability risks? Then the job as Head of Underwriting Property & Liability Finland might be for you!
Property insurance is one of the most important insurances for businesses. It can be costly if their building, machinery, or inventory is damaged. In addition, there can be significant financial losses due to production stoppages. As a commercial customer, it can also be expensive if you are unlucky and damage something, or if your products or services cause damage. Therefore, liability insurance is a cornerstone when insuring corporate customers. In Property & Liability Underwriting, we assess special and large risks. This involves pricing, adjusting the terms, and providing good advice to our corporate customers on loss preventive measures. Our Underwriters have a unique role in helping customers understand the risks and insurance needs related to their business, while ensuring a good business.
