The Opportunity:

If you want to join an exciting and expanding insurance business, with an energised leadership team and a top-flight tech platform, revolutionising the way DUA business is transacted through the Lloyd’s and London market, then read on.

With a rapidly expanding company, we are searching for Syndicate Performance Analyst.

About Us:

Carbon Underwriting is a new approach for the market. We are a specialist, independent, class agnostic Managing General Underwriter (MGU) writing to a mix of third-party capacity and our own Syndicate CBN 4747.

We are a young, dynamic company and recognise the importance of embracing modern technology to deeply enrich our offering. Without the baggage of legacy systems and mindsets, we’re building a next-generation analytics platform to service the needs of both internal employees and external clients.

The Opportunity:

We're looking for a commercially minded analyst with strong data presentation and business partnering skills to join our growing InsurTech team. This role sits at the intersection of underwriting, business analytics, and insurance performance — ideal for someone with 1–3 years of experience who thrives in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.

The Syndicate Performance Analyst plays a key role in monitoring, analysing, and enhancing the financial and operational performance of Carbon’s syndicate. This role combines technical financial understanding with commercial insight to support strategic decision-making, planning cycles, and regulatory reporting.

While the role will initially focus on this area, there is significant potential for growth across the business. Our team brings deep expertise in all areas of technology, and previous team members have gone on to become software engineers and actuaries at Carbon.

• Ensure data accuracy, audit readiness, and compliance with Lloyd’s performance management principles.
