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.

About the opportunity

We’re looking for an ambitious Reinsurance Underwriter to join our Property & Casualty Treaty team in Singapore, supporting our growing Oceania portfolio across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has built a strong foundation in reinsurance and is ready for the next step in their career. You’ll join a small, experienced team where you’ll gain exposure across the full underwriting process, work directly with brokers and clients, and have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as your experience grows.

The portfolio covers a broad range of P&C treaty business, with particular strength in Property. Experience within Casualty Treaty would be particularly valuable, although it is not essential.

We’re also open to people coming from adjacent areas of the reinsurance market. You may currently be working in reinsurance broking, actuarial, analytics or catastrophe modelling and be looking for the opportunity to build your career on the underwriting side.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work closely with senior underwriters across Oceania and the wider Asia team, with exposure to both the technical and relationship sides of treaty underwriting.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the assessment, pricing and negotiation of new and renewal P&C treaty business across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
• Developing your own underwriting judgement through analysis of exposure, loss experience, modelling outputs and other portfolio data.
• Building relationships with brokers and clients and becoming an increasingly visible point of contact for the team.
• Taking on greater day-to-day underwriting responsibility, particularly when senior members of the team are travelling or meeting clients and brokers across the region.
• Supporting portfolio analysis, performance monitoring and management reporting.
• Monitoring market conditions, emerging risks and developments across the Oceania reinsurance market.
• Working closely with actuarial, catastrophe modelling, claims, finance, legal and other specialist teams.
• Contributing ideas and insights as the team continues to develop its portfolio and underwriting approach.

What we’re looking for

There isn’t just one route into this opportunity.

Ideally, you’ll have around 5 years’ experience within reinsurance or a closely related discipline and a good understanding of the fundamentals of treaty business.

We’d particularly like to speak with people who have experience in:

• P&C treaty reinsurance underwriting
• Property Treaty
• Casualty Treaty, which would be an advantage
• Reinsurance broking
• Reinsurance analytics or actuarial
• Catastrophe modelling, with a desire to move closer to underwriting and client decision-making

You’ll be analytical and commercially curious, but equally important will be your ability to communicate well, build relationships and be comfortable taking on more responsibility as you develop.

A degree or equivalent professional qualification is preferred, while qualifications such as CII, ANZIIF or CPCU would be advantageous rather than essential.

Why consider this role?

For someone earlier in their reinsurance career, this role offers something increasingly difficult to find: breadth, visibility and genuine responsibility.

You’ll be part of a small team rather than one small part of a large underwriting operation. That means exposure to senior underwriters, brokers and clients, opportunities to work across multiple P&C classes, and the chance to gradually take ownership as your confidence and technical expertise develop.

Whether you are already underwriting Treaty business or have developed strong reinsurance skills through broking, actuarial work or catastrophe modelling, this could be an excellent opportunity to make the next move and build a long-term underwriting career in the Asia-Pacific reinsurance market.

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.
