- Develop renewal marketing presentations, workbooks, and supporting materials for reinsurance markets, including the collection and validation of required data
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of reinsurance and third-party capital transactions, and build a Ceded Reinsurance Center of Excellence to centralize key records, facilitate document sharing, and ensure internal and external access to critical materials
- Track meeting materials, notes, action items, and next steps for broker and market meetings, coordinating scheduling and follow-up
- Collaborate cross-functionally with underwriting, claims, finance, legal, and other internal teams to ensure proper application and operational understanding of reinsurance contracts. Experience with contract review and execution is a plus
- Track and report on reinsurer participation and support across SageSure programs, including limits placed across reinsurance towers
- Perform ad hoc analysis, reporting, and special projects in support of reinsurance placements and broader strategic initiatives

We’re looking for someone who has:

- 2-5 years of experience at a reinsurance broker, reinsurer, buyer of reinsurance, or similar, with hands-on exposure to placements and capital solutions
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex reinsurance placements from start to finish, including planning, execution, and follow-up
- Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritize multiple workstreams, track deadlines, and manage stakeholders effectively
- Excellent analytical capabilities, sound business judgment, and a strategic mindset
- Strong PowerPoint and Excel skills, including data analysis, exhibit creation, and presentation formatting
- Exceptional attention to detail, including the ability to take and organize comprehensive notes and maintain accessible records for senior leadership
- Confidence to independently manage challenging assignments while collaborating effectively with internal teams and external partners
- Bachelor’s degree

Highly preferred candidates also have:

- A degree in actuarial science, finance, economics, or another quantitative discipline
