I'm working with a growing insurance business that is looking to appoint a Reinsurance Operations Manager to support the continued expansion of its reinsurance function. This is a confidential search for a strong people leader who can take ownership of the reinsurance operations team, drive process and systems improvements, and help develop the function as the business continues to grow. The role reports directly to the COO and offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact across the team, systems and wider reinsurance operation.
