Job description

At Amwins Global Risks, we succeed together. We’re not ‘just another London broker’ placing risks and signing contracts. We’re forging relationships that are built to last. With over 700 employees around the world and a global footprint across more than 150 countries, we’ve cemented our place as a top 10 contributor to Lloyd’s.
