Job description

Introduction

At RSA, we believe insurance is about people, not things. We provide our inspiring colleagues with the support and opportunity to grow together, shape the future, and win as a team. We are undergoing a transformation journey, offering our people opportunities to improve our service and deliver better products to brokers and customers. We are a proud member of the Intact family, with a presence in North America, the UK, and Europe.

We have an opportunity for a Portfolio Manager to join our great Portfolio Management team on a hybrid basis.

Your Role

The purpose of this role is to lead the strategic and tactical development and performance in line with the agreed underwriting strategy and performance targets. You will support the Portfolio Management Director in developing Specialty Lines products, understanding, and identifying appropriate actions required. Your role will involve developing strategic thinking and planning to enable commercial decisions across the portfolio.

You will manage the performance of the Specialty Lines portfolios through compliance controls, accumulation monitoring, performance monitoring, cycle management, and portfolio forecasting. You will also be responsible for monitoring and reporting on loss ratio performance.

Additionally, you will produce benchmarking and forecasting data and insights to inform underwriting appetite.

About You

To succeed in this role, you should have experience working within an insurance environment. You will analyze data to drive decision-making and understand the impact of actions.

You must be commercially aware and have a track record of taking accountability for delivery. The ability to motivate others and influence audiences outside your direct control is important. You should be capable of challenging standard thinking and fostering an increasingly led business, leading cultural change.

Experience in driving profitability through underwriting risk selection, portfolio management, and pricing is desirable. An understanding of underwriting and business strategy, along with commercial pricing models and methodologies, would be beneficial.
