• Coordinate with international brokers and underwriters (London, Scandinavian, Middle-East and Far-East markets) for quotations, placements and policy adjustments.
• Provide insurance support during due diligence, bank reporting, audits and transaction execution.
• Lead the claims management process: gather documentation, liaise with brokers/loss adjusters, track progress and report internally.
• Verify insurance invoices, allocate costs correctly and track premium payments.
• Prepare regular insurance status reports, exposure summaries and renewal pipelines for senior management.

Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years of direct experience in corporate insurance, with strong exposure to marine insurance (essential) gained at a shipowner/operator, P&I club, insurance broker or insurer.
• Solid knowledge of aviation, motor fleet and general corporate insurance products.
• Proven track record in reviewing insurance wording in commercial and financing contracts.
• Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple renewals and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills; comfortable dealing with international brokers and underwriters.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience maintaining insurance databases/schedules.
