• Act as liaison point between them, GCU team members and finance.

Client Interaction:

• Work with external clients to ensure we have the same risks / premiums / claims on mutual contracts.
• Support Program Manager, Underwriters to anticipate client's cash flow expectations and support underwriters in providing regular updates to retrocessionaires.

Process and Systems Improvements:

• Work with underwriters, other deal management staff, finance and IT development to develop improvements / enhancements for the underwriting and processing systems.
