• Monitor sector developments — rating agency actions, NAIC/BMA/PRA/EIOPA regulatory changes, reinsurance renewal conditions, and transaction activity — and translate them into actionable client dialogue

• Mentor and direct the work of associates and analysts

Qualifications

Required • 6–9 years of experience in investment banking, corporate banking, or capital markets with direct insurance sector or FIG coverage exposure
