Key responsibilities include:
- Working closely with senior team members to prepare and contribute to strategic portfolio reviews, renewal reporting, and forward‑looking analyses
- Analyze large and complex datasets to identify portfolio trends, risk concentrations, performance drivers, and emerging issues.
- Monitoring portfolio performance, including Actual vs Expected loss ratios, accumulation usage versus limits, and adherence to underwriting standards and terms and conditions
- Supporting and tracking portfolio remediation and course‑correction actions, embedding lessons learned
- Providing input and decision support on referrals, exemptions, and escalation topics within assigned authority
- Supporting and enforcing underwriting governance frameworks, authorities, and Internal Risk Reviews
- Represent the property treaty portfolio in market discussions, select client meetings, and industry forums
