About the role

This role also carries in-house underwriting authority for property & casualty placements of standard and non-standard business, and a mandate to market Lloyd's open market business for the placement of risk.
You'll also mentor and train junior underwriting staff, and help shape the workflows, procedures, and technology behind how we underwrite risk.
You'll work closely with our VP, Underwriting & Product Portfolio to shape underwriting standards for a specialty product suite at a company that's actively scaling its dealer and broker footprint.

We're looking for a Senior Underwriter to own risk assessment and adjudication across that entire product suite, not just one line of business.
Demonstrated ability to underwrite and manage a multi-product suite - not just a single line - with evidence of rating, adjudicating, and monitoring performance across several related products concurrently
Direct experience working with automotive dealer principals, F&I departments, or broker partners on risk submissions, program design, or claims-related underwriting matters
We design and distribute specialty vehicle protection products through a national network of broker and dealer partners, embedded at the point of vehicle financing and leasing.

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to read loss ratio and claims trend data and translate it into underwriting action
Prior experience contributing to Lloyd's binder development, wording negotiation, or other delegated authority agreement work
Experience mentoring, training, or providing technical guidance to junior underwriting staff
Experience underwriting within an MGA, program administrator, or specialty insurer environment
Experience within an Aviva-affiliated, bank-owned, or other large-insurer-backed environment, with familiarity operating under parent-company governance
Familiarity with OMVIC-regulated dealership environments and F&I compliance considerations

Optiom is a specialty MGA and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aviva Canada, one of the country's largest property and casualty insurers.
We're a team of specialists who take pride in the discipline behind our products - the underwriting, the rating, the claims data - as much as the products themselves.
Joining Optiom means joining a business with strong backing, a clear purpose, and real room to shape how we underwrite risk as we grow.
Optiom uses AI tools to assist with initial candidate screening.
All final hiring decisions are made by our human hiring team.
