What We're Looking for

• Experienced: You have at least 10 years of experience in reinsurance either as an reinsurance underwriter, a reinsurance broker, or managing reinsurance for a carrier/MGA. You have a lengthy rolodex of industry contacts. You are knowledgeable about property insurance, forecasting, catastrophe modeling, reinsurance terms and structures.
• Nice to have: ARe and/or CFA
• Self-Driven: You thrive under intense pressure and can manage a large workload and projects with minimal oversight. There is no task too small or beneath you; “that’s not my job” is not in your mantra. You are resourceful and will run through walls to get stuff done.
• Communication: This role will require a significant amount of communication inside and outside of the organization. In many environments you will be the face of the company. You are an outstanding communicator and accustomed to working with senior executives.
• Insurance: Extensive knowledge of the reinsurance and capacity ecosystem. You are familiar with catastrophe models for peak perils. Your knowledge allows you to seamlessly communicate with reinsurance underwriters, accountants, claims, underwriting, finance, etc.
• Project Management: You have above average project management skills. You’re great at moving the ball forward on multiple projects simultaneously. You know how to get a deal across the finish line at financially favorable terms.
• Hungry: You want to make the leap into an earlier-stage tech company to rapidly accelerate your growth. You want to roll up your sleeves and hustle - you are not looking for a traditional 9-5 job.
