Reports to: Chief Underwriting Officer

You will lead the development and execution of the RI Direct commercial pipeline, from origination and opportunity qualification through proposals, negotiations and closure. You will also manage insurer and reinsurer relationships and source capacity for RI Direct and Partnership opportunities, while developing the Underwriter reporting to you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Originate and qualify RI Direct opportunities, building a diversified pipeline aligned with business objectives and approved underwriting appetite.
  • Own the commercial progression of opportunities, including submissions, proposals, negotiations and closure, subject to required technical and internal approvals.
  • Develop and manage relationships with insurers, reinsurers, brokers and other capacity providers across Malaysia and regional markets.
  • Identify suitable insurance and reinsurance capacity, establish initial appetite and negotiate commercial placement terms for RI Direct and Partnership opportunities.
  • Work closely with Technical Underwriting colleagues to develop proposals supported by appropriate risk assessment, coverage, structures and pricing.
  • Coordinate with Partnership on capacity engagement and commercial placement support, with clear ownership of actions and stakeholder communications.
  • Maintain an accurate pipeline register covering opportunity value, stage, capacity requirements, next actions and accountable owners.
  • Report pipeline progression, conversion, expected contribution, business quality and concentration risks to the CUO, highlighting obstacles and decisions requiring escalation.
  • Supervise and coach the Underwriter, establishing clear standards for submissions, documentation, placement tracking and follow-ups.
  • Improve commercial workflows and execution discipline while operating within delegated authority and approval requirements.

Requirements

WHAT WE EXPECT OF YOU:

  • At least five years of relevant general insurance or reinsurance underwriting, placement or business development experience, including responsibility for commercial negotiations.
  • Demonstrated ability to assess opportunities, prepare credible submissions and proposals, and progress transactions through internal approval and placement.
  • Practical understanding of insurance and reinsurance terms, capacity requirements, risk appetite and underwriting economics.
  • Experience engaging insurers, reinsurers, brokers or other capacity providers.
  • Strong written and verbal English, commercial numeracy and the ability to manage multiple live opportunities.
  • Ability to supervise junior staff, delegate clearly and maintain accountability for delivery quality.
  • Strong relationship management and negotiation skills, with the ability to build counterparty confidence and secure workable commercial terms.
  • Commercial ownership and disciplined underwriting judgment, with consistent follow-through and timely escalation of obstacles or exceptions.
  • A collaborative approach to working with Technical Underwriting, Partnership and Legal, respecting each function’s responsibilities and decision authority.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Recognised insurance qualifications, such as ACII, AMII or equivalent.
  • An established insurer and reinsurer network in Malaysia or regional markets.
  • Experience in affinity, embedded insurance, digital distribution or cross-border insurance and reinsurance arrangements.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
