Job Description

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 a subject matter expert on Property and BI, you will have a significant influence across the business, applying your negotiation, influencing, and collaboration skills to secure optimal outcomes for colleagues and clients.

This highly visible role involves representing the broker on various internal and external bodies, such as in-house practice groups, BIBA, and the CII. You will review market reforms and changes, analyze emerging risks, and communicate how these impact stakeholders (clients, colleagues, and third parties). Clients are primarily UK-based, including some of the largest publicly-listed and private companies in sectors like Food & Beverage, Tech, and Manufacturing. Your responsibilities include analyzing policy wordings, conducting reviews and comparisons, and collaborating with the market to develop standardised wordings.

You will proactively research industry news, trends, and emerging risks to provide thought leadership and articles, as well as assist in developing new products and services. Additionally, you will create various documentation such as business templates, training materials, and reports on competitor and insurer activities. As the team’s 'go-to’ expert on Property risks, you will serve as an ad-hoc 'sounding board' for relevant classes.

Our client is open to candidates from Corporate Broking, Underwriting, Claims, or Risk Management. However, it is essential that you are a subject matter specialist in relevant classes and have experience working with corporate accounts.

You should possess gravitas and authority, with strong negotiation and influencing skills to drive positive outcomes. Excellent communication skills are necessary to secure stakeholder buy-in. Given the complexity of projects, you should have excellent task management skills, be highly analytical, detail-oriented, and capable of effectively reporting your findings.

This role offers flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in the UK, with travel to the City approximately once a month (fully expensed). More frequent visits to a local office are also possible if preferred.

In return, you will receive a competitive salary (negotiable based on experience), a car allowance, and a market-leading pension scheme. A comprehensive, flexible benefits package is also provided, customizable to your personal circumstances.
