• Coordinate reinsurance audits, review claims and premium activity, reconcile records, and facilitate review processes with clients and reinsurers.
• Utilize KPIs and system tools to manage receivables, funding, reporting, and transactional processes efficiently, ensuring compliance and service excellence.

What you need to have:

• 5+ years of professional experience in insurance, reinsurance, or risk management (with a minimum of 2 years of reinsurance experience).
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with strong attention to detail.
• Proven ability to work effectively in high-performance teams, managing workload to meet client and stakeholder expectations.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to deliver clear messages and promote the Guy Carpenter brand.
• Capable of making sound independent judgments, providing effective solutions, and mentoring colleagues to ensure superior client service.

What makes you stand out:

• Proven track record in successful client account and relationship management, with strong verbal and written communication skills for complex interactions.
• Familiarity with contract law, regulatory controls, and general business trends, along with previous knowledge of reinsurance and insurance concepts preferred.

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
