Senior Casualty Underwriter

Are you a seasoned insurance professional ready to take a leading role in a growing market?

AIG is looking for a Senior Casualty Underwriter to join our integrated Nordic Casualty team. Based in our Copenhagen office, you will primarily support clients and brokers across the Danish and Norwegian markets, while also contributing to opportunities and client relationships across the wider Nordic region, playing a critical role in our continued regional growth.

This is your opportunity to leverage your technical expertise in Product Liability, General Liability, and Recall Insurance to shape strategic solutions for some of the largest multinational clients in the Nordics.

What’s in it for you?

At AIG, we aspire to a "Learn-It-All" culture. We invest in our senior talent, trusting you to deliver while prioritizing knowledge sharing and continuous development.

Here is what you can expect:

• The Best of Both Worlds: Enjoy an agile local presence in Copenhagen with high visibility, combined with the strategic backing and endless resources of a global insurance leader.
• One Nordic: You become a fully integrated part of our Nordic team, working across borders without silos to ensure the best solutions for our clients.
• Autonomy: We trust our Senior Underwriters to manage highly complex cases, negotiate directly with brokers, and make sound commercial decisions.
• Excellent Benefits: We offer a competitive salary, pension plan, private health insurance, and 35 days of annual leave (5 weeks of vacation + 10 extra top-up days) to ensure a healthy work-life balance.

Your impact and responsibilities

As a Senior Casualty Underwriter, you will drive profitable growth and manage the full lifecycle of your assigned portfolio.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Underwriting Excellence: Assessing risks, structuring programs, and managing large, complex cases within General Liability, Product Liability, and Recall.
• Commercial Execution: Developing and maintaining strategic relationships with key brokers and clients, with a primary focus on Denmark and Norway, while supporting business opportunities and client relationships across the Nordic region.
• Portfolio Management: Analysing market trends and portfolio performance to identify opportunities and ensure long-term profitability.
• Cross-Border Collaboration: Partnering seamlessly with Multinational, Claims, and Risk Engineering teams to deliver best-in-class service to our clients.
• Mentorship: Acting as a subject matter expert, guiding and supporting the next generation of underwriters in the Nordic team.

What you’ll need to succeed

This role requires a proactive approach and a deep understanding of the local market.

• Several years of proven experience from a senior role in Casualty underwriting (GL, PL, and Recall).
• Experience handling complex, multinational insurance programs.
• A commercial mindset with a demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders, negotiate effectively, and build broker relationships.
• You see yourself as being structured, analytical, and comfortable making independent, data-driven decisions.
• Excellent communication skills, with fluency in English and a Scandinavian language (Danish is preferred).

Meet the Team

You will report directly to the Nordic Head of Casualty. The Nordic Casualty team consists of twelve highly specialized underwriters collaborating across borders. While your day-to-day base will be the Copenhagen office, you will operate within a cohesive Nordic structure that relies on teamwork, shared expertise, and flat hierarchies.

How to apply

We value your experience over a lengthy cover letter. Please send your CV along with a brief summary of your motivation and fit for the role.

We will be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. We welcome applications in Scandinavian or English.
