• Identifying emerging insurable risks and recommending effective risk transfer solutions
• Driving improvements to insurance governance, frameworks and first-line ownership of insurance risk
• Managing complex stakeholder relationships across Treasury, Finance, Legal, Risk and business leadership teams
• Supporting claims activity and crisis response where required
• Deputising for senior insurance leadership when necessary

What We're Looking For
