QBE is investing in its captive management capability as a core pillar of our Corporate and Multinational proposition. In this newly created Captive Manager role, you will be pivotal in designing, embedding and scaling QBE’s captive solutions for Corporate clients, ensuring they are commercially compelling, operationally robust and fully integrated into our wider offering.

This is a high-impact role at a key point in QBE’s growth journey. You will act as the enterprise owner for captive solutions, shaping how we partner with clients, brokers and internal teams to deliver sophisticated captive-enabled programmes across Europe.

Reporting into the Client Proposition team within Market Management, the role combines strategic proposition leadership with hands-on delivery, working closely with Underwriting, Multinational, Risk Solutions, Reinsurance, Finance and Operations.

Your new role:

• Own and shape QBE’s end-to-end Captive Solutions proposition for Corporate clients as a core part of the Corporate and Multinational strategy.
• Design a clear, market-facing captive value proposition aligned to QBE’s growth priorities and target client segments.
• Act as the enterprise owner and subject-matter expert for captive structures across Europe, advising senior stakeholders and underwriting teams.
• Seamlessly embed captive solutions into Corporate and Multinational engagement, underwriting and servicing models.
• Lead complex client and broker discussions, including programme design, optimisation and retention of key Corporate clients.
• Represent QBE externally at broker forums, client meetings and industry events to promote captive capability.
• Define and evolve the captive operating model, covering onboarding, collateral, premium flows, claims reporting and governance.
• Drive scalability and efficiency by standardising processes and influencing technology, data and workflow requirements.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience in captive management, alternative risk transfer or captive-enabled insurance programmes.
• Clear technical understanding of captive structures, with the ability to operate “in the detail” as well as at a strategic level.
• Experience working across Corporate and/or Multinational insurance environments, partnering with underwriting and senior stakeholders.
• Commercial mindset with the credibility to lead complex client and broker conversations.
• Comfortable building new capability in a growth environment, where processes and models are still evolving.
• Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.

Benefits:

• 30 days holiday a year with the option to buy up to 2 additional days.
• Pension – you are automatically enrolled into the QBE pension plan, which entitles you to receive employer contributions of 10% of your basic salary.
