About the role:

The business is looking to hire an Insurance & Risk Manager to own and operate the insurance programme end-to-end. You will manage day-to-day placement and renewals, standardise wordings for renewables, build a panel of insurers, deepen broker relationships, and lead claims. You will also support wider enterprise risk management (ERM) - though that is a secondary focus. This role suits someone hands-on who knows the insurance market, can roll up their sleeves, and enjoys building fit-for-purpose coverage across multiple countries. This is a stand-alone role embedded into the Finance Team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Insurance Programme - Strategy & Operations (Primary Focus)
  • 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 - own timelines, data, and market submissions.
  • Build and maintain a panel of insurers; drive competitive tension and continuity.
  • Develop broker strategy and SLAs; oversee service delivery, fee/commission transparency, stewardship meetings, and tendering when needed.
  • Cyber insurance: assess evolving exposures, align with IT/OT stakeholders, and maintain appropriate cyber coverage for corporate and asset needs.
  • Budgeting & allocations: own premium forecasts, allocations by asset/project, and cost tracking.
• Claims Leadership
  • 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.
• Asset Lifecycle & Projects
  • 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.
• Governance, Data, and Reporting
  • 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.
• Broader Risk Management (Secondary Focus)
  • 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.

Profile

A successful Renewable Energy Insurance Risk Manager should have:

• 4-8 years' experience in insurance (broker, insurer, or in-house), with energy, infrastructure, industrials, or construction exposure.
• Solid understanding of CAR/EAR, DSU/ALOP, PD/BI, liability, and cyber - from placement through claims.
• Experience with multi-country programmes (global master + local admitted), broker management, and renewals.

• Renewables experience (wind/solar/storage) and familiarity with OEM/EPC/O&M contract insurance provisions.
• Experience aligning coverage with lenders' requirements and project finance structures.
