About The Position

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: We are looking for an individual who is internally motivated, intellectually curious, can manage multiple priorities, and is driven to enhance existing processes. 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.
