• Act as primary point of contact for brokers and insurers, coordinating renewals, endorsements and mid-term adjustments.
• Oversee claims from notification through to settlement, working with internal stakeholders and external advisers to secure timely, commercial outcomes.
• Support risk identification and mitigation across the property portfolio, feeding into renewal strategy and risk financing decisions.
• Review contracts and lease documentation for insurance and indemnity provisions, escalating material issues and ensuring compliance with agreed standards.
• Prepare MI and reports for senior management on claims trends, premium movements and key risk indicators.

About you: You will be an experienced insurance professional with:

• A track record in corporate insurance management – either in-house, or from a broker handling real estate / property-owner risks.
• Solid understanding of property and casualty insurance, ideally including experience with large or multi-site portfolios.
• Evidence of hands-on claims management and comfort dealing with loss adjusters, brokers and underwriters.
• Strong stakeholder skills – able to work with finance, legal, asset management and facilities teams, and to explain insurance concepts in plain language.
