The company operate within a rapidly growing segment of the Trade Finance market and look to insure the majority of the deals they transact. You will be reporting to and deputising for the Head of Insurance who joined them from an insurance company early into their journey.
The role itself will see you working closely with the Head and supported by a more junior team member to ensure an efficient and pro-active Insurance Distribution service. Specifically you will be involved from the outset on Trade Finance deals, ensuring that these deals are marketable to the Insurers (typically Political & Credit Risk Markets), aligning the structure of the transaction to agreed policy wordings, carrying out internal presentations on risk appetite, looking at the terms and assisting with the preparation of the transaction ready to market. You will then liaise with the appointed brokers to explain the transaction and discuss potential markets, including sitting in on presentations with the brokers to educate the underwriting markets and explain the business goals. Working through until the transaction completes and the policy binds.
This is a really rare and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic company who are going through huge growth, the amount of business they place into the market is expected to double within the next 12 months and you will be an integral part of this. In addition, you really get to see more about how clients interact with the market and better understand the thinking of insurance buyers.
To be considered for this role you should be experienced in the Political & Credit Risk markets, preferably with a wealth of experience in medium – long term credit business. You will need to have an understanding of complex transactions and should have knowledge of bank debt instruments. Ideally you will have been involved in some of the more sophisticated market transactions.
In return you’ll receive a competitive salary, a very healthy bonus, and strong benefits package.
