Renewable Energy Insurance Risk Manager - Michael Page in London

The business is a global renewable energy development and investment platform that develops and invests in a wide range of utility‑scale energy assets focussed on solar PV, onshore wind and storage solutions. They are a long‑term owner of the projects, portfolios and platforms they develop and acquire. We are building a team of highly ambitious people who care about making a difference as we move towards a sustainable energy transition. The team is being structured to support rapid growth ambitions and long‑term ownership of energy assets with a strong focus on IRR preservation and optimisation.

We seek individuals with deep technical experience within their area of focus and on‑the‑job experience in optimising IRR, or who are willing to be exposed to such operational activities to enhance their knowledge base.

About the role: The team will hire an Insurance & Risk Manager to own and operate the insurance programme end‑to‑end. The manager will handle day‑to‑day placement and renewals, standardise wordings for renewables, build a panel of insurers, deepen broker relationships, and lead claims. The role also supports wider Enterprise Risk Management, though that is a secondary focus. This is a stand‑alone role embedded in the Finance Team that suits someone hands‑on who knows the insurance market, can roll up their sleeves, and enjoys building fit‑for‑purpose coverage across multiple countries.

• Design and maintain a fit‑for‑purpose insurance programme spanning construction, operational, and corporate insurances across Europe and Chile.
• Standardise renewable insurance wordings (e.g., CAR/EAR + DSU, PD/BI, liability, cyber) and documentation (SOVs, COIs, endorsements).
• Coordinate global/master and local admitted policies, ensuring compliance with non‑admitted rules and leveraging EU FoS where applicable.
• Manage annual renewals, mid‑term adjustments, and endorsements – owning timelines, data, and market submissions.

• Cyber insurance: assess evolving exposures, align with IT/OT stakeholders, and maintain appropriate cyber coverage for corporate and asset needs.

• Lead claims end‑to‑end: notification, adjuster appointment, quantum validation, reserving, coverage negotiation, recovery/subrogation, and lessons learned.
• Implement a claims register and KPIs (cycle times, recovery rates, leakage, trends).
• Coach site and project teams on incident reporting, documentation, and preserving coverage.

• Pre‑construction: review tender/contract insurance provisions (EPC, BOP, TSA, O&M) and lenders’ requirements; ensure coverage for DSU/ALOP, testing & commissioning, and marine cargo/transit.
• Construction: align CAR/EAR policy triggers, deductibles, and limits with project risk profile; maintain accurate SOV and schedule of assets.
• Operations: maintain PD/BI, machinery breakdown, liability, pollution/environmental, and other relevant policies; support outages and turnaround plans.

• Maintain insurance records and data quality (SOVs, exposure data, valuations, risk improvements).
• Produce dashboards and management reports for the CFO and leadership (renewal outcomes, coverage changes, claims trends, premium benchmarks).
• Continuous improvement: develop playbooks, templates, and training for operational teams.

• Support ERM activities as needed: risk registers, mitigation planning, incident trend analysis, and insurance‑related elements of business continuity.
• Contribute to HSE/operational risk insights to improve insurability and reduce losses.
