Ceded Reinsurance Placement Officer

A dynamic and forward-thinking (re)insurance group is seeking an experienced Ceded Reinsurance Specialist to join its growing team.

In this role, you will lead the placement of Marine and Energy reinsurance programmes, while also supporting other lines of business as needed. Working closely with internal teams including Underwriting, Actuarial, Claims, and Operations, you will manage end-to-end placement processes and liaise with external Brokers and Reinsurers.

Key responsibilities include structuring and recommending reinsurance purchases, analysing proposals, negotiating optimal cover, and supporting ongoing project initiatives. A strong grasp of reinsurance concepts, contract wording, and market dynamics is essential.

The ideal candidate will have solid experience in a ceded reinsurance purchasing role—preferably in the London market—with a technical understanding of Marine and Energy reinsurance. Strong analytical, negotiation, and communication skills, along with a collaborative mindset and attention to detail, are crucial.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced environment while developing your expertise across multiple business lines. If you're looking to grow your reinsurance career within a supportive and ambitious team, we’d love to hear from you.
