Gifted insurance professionals seeking a challenging role to utilise their industry knowledge and network will relish the opportunity to join this prestigious global broker’s dedicated Technical Team.
As subject matter expert on Property and BI, you will have far-reaching influence across the business and use your negotiation, influencing and collaboration skills to help secure the best possible outcomes for colleagues and clients alike.
This highly visible role will represent the broker on a number of internal and external bodies, such as in-house practice groups, BIBA, and the CII. You will review market reforms and changes, as well as analyse emerging risks, cascading information on how these will affect all stakeholders (clients, colleagues, and other 3rd parties). Clients are typically UK-domiciled, including some of the largest publicly-listed and privately-owned companies in the country, such as big names from the worlds of Food & Beverage, Tech, and Manufacturing. This includes analysing wordings and coverage, carrying out policy reviews and comparisons, and collaborating with the market to create standardised wordings.
You must proactively research and analyse industry news, trends, and emerging risks to provide high-quality thought leadership and articles, and help identify and develop new products and services. You will also assist with creating a variety of documentation, from business templates and training material to reports on competitor and insurer activity/propositions. As the Team’s ‘go-to’ expert on Property risks, you will also act as an ad-hoc ‘sounding board’ regarding relevant classes.
Our client is flexible regarding experience, welcoming applications from candidates from Corporate Broking, Underwriting, Claims, or Risk Management. However, it is essential that you are a subject matter specialist on the relevant classes and have exposure to dealing with corporate accounts.
You must have a sense of gravitas and authority, and be able to use your negotiation and influencing skills to drive positive outcomes. Excellent communication skills are required to secure the ‘buy-in’ of both internal and external stakeholders. As you will be working on a number of complex projects simultaneously, you should also have excellent task-management skills. You must be highly analytical and detail-oriented, able to drill down on a subject and effectively report your findings.
This role can be based remotely from anywhere in the UK, with travel into the City required only once every month or so (fully expensed). However, if you prefer to check into a local office more regularly, this is also possible.
In return, you will receive a generous basic salary (Negotiable, depending on experience), car allowance, and a market-leading pension arrangement. You will also benefit from a comprehensive, flexible benefits package that can be tweaked to suit your personal circumstances.
