You will work closely with internal stakeholders across the business as well as brokers, insurers and other external partners to ensure robust insurance arrangements are maintained globally. Your responsibilities will include supporting the negotiation, placement and ongoing management of global corporate insurance programmes, reviewing insurance requirements across the business and ensuring appropriate risk transfer strategies are in place.
