• Delivery of pre-loss Business Interruption reviews to provide clients with a clear understanding of loss scenarios emanating from property loss events.
• Analyse client operating models, financial reports, and risk events to identify practical measures that mitigate business interruption losses.
• Build and nurture relationships with brokers, underwriters, and relationship management colleagues to identify new opportunities and maintain a strong pipeline.
• Collaborate with Zurich colleagues globally to develop and deliver innovative Business Interruption services.

What are we looking for?

• In-depth understanding of Business Interruption from a Risk Management, Consulting Claims or Underwriting perspective.
• Experience working with large corporate customers across a range of industries.
• Proven ability to advise on business interruption risks and communicate complex concepts to a wide range of stakeholders.
• Experience generating and maintaining a sales pipeline in a consultancy role.
• Background in insurance or risk management.
• Knowledge of risk management and loss prevention practices.
• Familiarity with business continuity, interdependency analysis, and supply chain risk management.
• Experience advising manufacturing, life sciences, or pharmaceutical clients.
• Excellent presentation, facilitation, and client relationship skills.
• ACA / FCA (Chartered Accountant or Fellow Chartered Accountant welcomed)
• 5+ years in business interruption claims, forensic accounting, business continuity or risk consulting
