Job Description
We're working with a well-capitalised, internationally respected insurer with a serious London market pedigree writing worldwide property treaty reinsurance. You'd be joining a small team and have a genuine opportunity to build on your skillset in a broad, critical role for them.
They need a switched-on Technical Assistant who can help with underwriting support and also pitch in with additional accounting duties.
We are after someone who takes pride in accuracy, thrives on variety, and wants to understand how the whole business fits together.
The Role
This is a broad, hands-on position sitting across two functions - and that's the point. No two days look the same, and your contribution will be felt across the business from day one.
On the technical/underwriting side you'll be entering treaty slips onto the system, maintaining underwriting files, producing quarterly bordereaux for outwards quota share reinsurers, preparing premium adjustment reports and MI, supporting claims administration and credit control, and getting exposure to Solvency II and IFRS17 work alongside the wider underwriting team.
On the accounts side you'll be handling some premium and claims reconciliations, reinsurance accounting including recoveries, invoices and payments, banking operations and investment monitoring.
Full training on accounts will be provided.
What we're looking for is
Required
- Familiarity working within reinsurance - a must - preferably treaty
- An immediate starter (or someone on short notice)
- Strong excel skills - using VLOOKUPs, IF functions, and pivot tables with ease
Preferred
- Experience with Eclipse and/or SQL
What's On Offer
- £35,000–£42,500 per annum
- 9.30am–5.30pm, Monday to Friday
- Full-time, 18-month fixed term contract
- Hybrid working after probation
- Private healthcare
- The stability and backing of a major international insurance group
- Rare dual-discipline exposure across technical underwriting support and insurance finance from day one
