We are seeking a dynamic Business Manager for the Ceded Reinsurance Department. You will work closely with the Ceded Re team and leadership to execute on the biggest (and smallest) priorities in Ceded Re. You will work closely with the Head of Ceded Reinsurance– your role is to pick up ideas and turn them into initiatives, run projects, propose solutions, and generally think 2 steps ahead to act as a trusted advisor and strategic thought partner to the Ceded Re team. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, manage high-impact initiatives, create presentations and track treaty placements to ensure the department is running efficiently.

What we’re looking for:

The candidate should possess strong technical and business expertise with the ability to build sustainable, collaborative relationships, influence stakeholders, and lead, motivate and gain commitment from key constituents.

No two weeks will look the same. You’ll combine strategic thinking with tactical execution, moving from building an income statement model or board deck to coordinating a reinsurer introduction or running down a legal item.

• Relationship management - Facilitate cross-functional collaboration and align stakeholders across departments to remove bottlenecks and maintain momentum on key initiatives.
• Operational Efficiency - Develop and refine processes that optimize the priority-setting for the Head of Ceded Reinsurance, including meeting agendas, briefing materials, and follow-ups.
• Track Performance – track organizational performance metrics, assessing progress toward strategic goals and identifying areas for improvement.
• Executive Communication & Alignment - Prepare presentations, board materials, and executive summaries to communicate strategic priorities internally and externally.
