Who We Are

Apollo is a specialised independent (re)insurer, established in 2009, to deliver top‑tier products and services to clients, brokers and capital partners at Lloyd’s. The name "Apollo" was inspired by the achievements of one of its founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon in 1969. Together with Jim Hays, Neil identified an opportunity to create a unique service provider within Lloyd’s. Since its inception, Apollo has broadened its portfolio of insurance solutions, including traditional and specialty lines, innovative sharing‑economy products and managing agency services at Lloyd’s through our Platform Partner Syndicates. Today, Apollo continues to grow with a team of 300 professionals dedicated to fulfilling the company’s mission of enabling a resilient and sustainable world.“We attract and retain a diverse range of talent by fostering an inclusive, equitable team environment where individuals from all backgrounds have opportunities to grow, succeed, and contribute. We empower our teams to achieve excellence and drive forward‑thinking solutions, aiming to enable a resilient and sustainable world.” – David Ibeson, Group CEO

Your Role

Apollo is hiring a Senior Manager to lead Capital and Portfolio Management activity for our Platform Partner Syndicates (PPS). Reporting to the Group Head of Capital & Portfolio Management, you will take ownership of capital‑setting and portfolio analytics for several Partner Syndicates; ensuring accuracy, regulatory compliance, and strong alignment with business plans.

You will play a central role in helping platform partners secure both initial and ongoing Lloyd’s approvals. The role blends technical leadership with strategic influence; working closely with underwriting, pricing, exposure management, finance, risk, and external stakeholders.

What You Will Do

• Lead capital and portfolio management activity for assigned Partner Syndicates; setting and reviewing business plan components such as loss ratios, inflation assumptions, and risk splits.
• Work with Apollo’s pricing team on technical premium and price adequacy assessments, and embed capital and actuarial considerations into underwriting, exposure management, and reinsurance decisions.
• Lead capital‑setting processes; review and challenge Lloyd’s Standard Models and internal model outputs, and parameterise or review bespoke model elements.
• Deliver regulatory submissions including capital requirements, business plans, Standard Formula and catastrophe returns; coordinate IMAP activity for new syndicates and maintain policies and documentation for Partner Syndicates.
• Engage proactively with internal teams, external partners, and Lloyd’s regulators; respond promptly to feedback and contribute to relevant committees and working groups.
• Assess new business opportunities with a focus on profitability and capital efficiency, stay informed on industry developments to support process improvement, and mentor junior team members while representing Apollo externally.

What We Are Looking For

• Strong capital knowledge with familiarity of Lloyd’s market structure, classes of business, capital requirements, and ideally the Lloyd’s Standard Model.
• Ability to embed capital considerations into strategic decisions; strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to evaluate complex challenges and develop practical, creative solutions.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with confidence working across underwriting, finance, exposure management, risk, platform partners, and regulators.
• Clear and effective communication skills for diverse audiences including C‑suite and regulatory committees; strong presentation capability.
• Adaptable, organised, proactive, and comfortable balancing short‑term priorities with long‑term objectives.

What You Will Get in Return

Our compensation package is designed to attract top talent. In addition to a fair and attractive salary, this role offers a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive range of benefits, including 31 days of annual leave, a non‑contributory pension and private medical insurance.
