- Support M&A, block reinsurance, and sidecar/flow reinsurance dialogue, including preparation of strategic materials and coordination with advisory teams
- Manage internal processes end-to-end: credit approvals, KYC/onboarding, capital committee memos, and legal documentation coordination
Content & Analysis
- Produce high-quality client materials: pitch books, market updates, capital structure and peer benchmarking analyses, regulatory impact assessments
- Monitor sector developments — rating agency actions, NAIC/BMA/PRA/EIOPA regulatory changes, reinsurance renewal conditions, and transaction activity — and translate them into actionable client dialogue
- Mentor and direct the work of associates and analysts
Qualifications
