Job Description

Europcar Mobility Group seeks a senior insurance leader to develop and execute the company’s global insurance strategy, focusing on fleet, corporate, and ancillary revenue insurance programs.

Context

Insurance is a strategic priority for Europcar Mobility Group as the Group evolves and adapts to the accelerating shift in mobility. This requires a dynamic and forward‑thinking risk strategy that balances long‑term objectives with the flexibility to act decisively year on year.

Europcar Mobility Group operates several fleet insurance structures across its footprint the largest of which is the Europrogram – a Group‑managed framework that ensures consistent and optimised fleet insurance across key European markets. This programme acts as the cornerstone of our insurance strategy enabling us to centralise performance, drive efficiency and maintain continuity of cover across multiple countries. Other regions are supported by stand‑alone locally placed solutions aligned with group principles.

Beyond fleet insurance the Group is responsible for placing and managing the majority of its corporate insurance policies centrally including Directors & Officers liability, Cyber, Property & Business Interruption, Environmental Liability and Travel Assistance. This centralised approach ensures cohesive coverage, leverages scale for cost efficiency and strengthens the Group’s protection against key enterprise risks while supporting regulatory and operational compliance.

This ensures insurance propositions are both strategically aligned and commercially optimised contributing to sustainable revenue growth.
