• Deliver tailored solutions ranging from single-risk placements to portfolio, program, and facility structures
• Advise on coverage design for catastrophe-exposed LATAM risks (earthquake, windstorm, flood, volcanic, etc.)
• Review and optimise existing insurance structures to improve coverage, capacity, and cost efficiency
• Work closely with underwriters, brokers, and clients across Latin America and the London Market
• Support relationship development with key LATAM-producing brokers and clients

Lines of Business Include

• Property Damage & Business Interruption (All Risks or Named Perils)
• Standalone Catastrophe Covers (Earthquake, Windstorm, Flood)
• Deductible Buydowns & Coverage Carveouts
• Construction & Engineering (CAR/EAR)
• Machinery Breakdown
• Contractor's Plant & Equipment (CPE)
• Parametric Insurance Solutions for LATAM perils

Requirements

• Property placing experience in the London Insurance Market
• Demonstrable, hands-on experience placing LATAM property risks
• Strong technical understanding of LATAM catastrophe exposures and local market conditions
• Proven ability to structure complex or non-standard insurance solutions
