About the Role

As Risk Manager, you will own the end-to-end management of the company's corporate insurance and risk programs, ensuring appropriate coverage, efficient renewals, and robust risk mitigation across the organisation. You will act as a strategic business partner to senior stakeholders, combining hands-on execution with forward-looking risk strategy to support current and anticipated business objectives. Your work will safeguard the organisation's financial stability and operational resilience while continuously improving risk practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage annual corporate insurance renewals across a wide variety of coverages, including program design, marketing to carriers, and negotiation of terms and pricing.
• Review insurance policies, endorsements, contracts, and related documentation to ensure appropriate risk transfer, coverage alignment, and compliance with corporate standards.
• Monitor and analyse the organisation's risk profile, identifying emerging risks and recommending mitigation strategies and insurance solutions to leadership.
• Partner with internal stakeholders to understand business operations and projects, advising on risk implications and structuring insurance and contractual protections accordingly.
• Support and oversee claims handling processes, working with brokers, carriers, and internal teams to drive effective resolution and minimise financial impact.
• Develop and maintain risk management processes, documentation, and reporting to improve visibility, decision-making, and continuous improvement across the risk function.
• Contribute to risk-related training and communication, reinforcing risk awareness and best practices throughout the organisation.

Key Requirements

• Five to seven years' experience in corporate risk management or insurance brokerage with a major insurance company or large brokerage firm.
• At least 3 years' experience managing corporate insurance renewals across multiple lines of coverage (not limited to auto insurance).
• Proven track record of identifying, assessing, and mitigating corporate risk in complex, fast-paced business environments.
• Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels, comfortably shifting from planning and analysis to hands-on execution.
• Strong attention to detail and advanced problem-solving skills, particularly in insurance policy, claims, and contract review.
• Self-motivated with a strong work ethic, able to work independently with minimal supervision while contributing effectively in a collaborative team setting.
• Excellent critical thinking, analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and build trust across the organisation.
• Strong math and computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with business systems and data tools.

Desirable Skills

• Prior experience transitioning from a large insurance brokerage to an in-house corporate risk management role.
• Hands-on experience with captive insurance structures and alternative risk financing.
• Working knowledge of platforms such as Salesforce, SharePoint, and business intelligence (BI) tools.
• Experience serving as a strategic business partner to senior leadership on risk and insurance matters.
• Background in developing or enhancing risk management frameworks, processes, and reporting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Risk Management, Business, Finance, Management, or a closely related field.

• Evidence of ongoing professional development in risk management, insurance, or related disciplines.
