We are seeking a talented individual to join our team at Marsh Corporate within our Restructuring & Recovery team. This role can be based in our Birmingham or Reading offices. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least 3 days a week in the office.

As a Case Manager specialising in insolvencies, you will handle a wide range of risks of all sizes, with excellent opportunities to develop expertise across different areas and insurance lines.

This role is centred on building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with clients to ensure the consistent delivery of exceptional service.

Case Managers are responsible for delivering our Service Proposition relating to insurance placement options, including scheme placement, annual placement, and pre-appointment insurance utilisation, ensuring that all options are thoroughly reviewed for each placement. Additionally, they provide risk management advice by signposting clients to the Risk Management team for relevant services. As the practice operates a Delegated Authority Scheme, Case Managers are expected to foster strong relationships with both scheme insurers and market insurers to facilitate the best possible outcomes for clients.
