Overview: Are you seeking greater flexibility to work from home? Or perhaps you're aiming for your first Manager-grade role where you can learn from a highly talented CRO? This opportunity is with an established, niche insurer.

This is a fully remote role, allowing you to work from home every day.

As part of the 2nd line, you'll partner with 1st line operations across Claims, Underwriting, and Distribution to support effective risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring activities.
