Programme Description

The company is transforming its Ceded Reinsurance operation to improve its effectiveness and accuracy, ultimately helping to achieve a diversified, balanced portfolio that generates low volatility and a low 90s COR throughout the cycle.

To achieve success, contributions will be needed from several teams across the company including: Underwriting, Ceded Reinsurance, Actuarial, Claims and Information Technology. The build will also be supported by an external consulting partner to drive progress, technical development and alignment with industry best practice. Given the multitude of key stakeholders and target timeline for delivery, the company is seeking a highly organized, detail oriented and adept programme manager to drive forward the initiative and deliver a first-rate product. The successful candidate will focus on delivery in 2025 and early 2026 with the opportunity to continue supporting future phased delivery beyond the initial phases.
