  • Ensuring underwriting compliance with governance frameworks, achieving contract certainty, and utilizing global pricing tools effectively. 

  • Supporting market management initiatives, driving acquisition of new business, and retaining existing business through client and producer negotiations. 

  • Representing AGCS positively in the market, fostering strong relationships with key producers, clients, and stakeholders.

  • Expertise in risk assessment and management, pricing, and market management. 

  • In-depth knowledge of regional and local LoB insurance markets and competitor landscape. 

  • Strong analytical skills, communication and presentation abilities, and influencing skills to motivate others. 

  • Preferably a degree in Economics, Finance, Insurance Management, or Business Administration, along with professional insurance qualifications (e.g., CII). 

  • Experience working in a complex, global matrix organization. 

  • A basic understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential applications in business is essential.
