What can you expect:

The Regional FINPRO team in DIFC is a diverse and multicultural group responsible for the development, placement, and servicing of FINPRO business throughout the MENA region. The team collaborates with colleagues from Marsh’s regional organization, its extensive retail network, and other global FINPRO hubs to deliver exceptional client service, innovative product solutions, and access to local and regional markets. The FINPRO Broker will be responsible for advising and placing a client’s risk within the (re)insurance and risk marketplace to ensure we retain existing business and support new opportunities to meet our ambitious growth targets. This role requires advanced technical knowledge, strong negotiation skills to secure the best terms, conditions, coverage, and pricing for clients from the reinsurance market, and excellent communication skills to liaise with the network and present our terms while making recommendations to clients and prospects.

What you will be rewarded with:

• We offer and embrace a hybrid working model that fosters a collaborative environment, with 3 days in the office and 2 days working remotely.
• Competitive Benefits Package including: 28 days of annual leave, medical coverage, life assurance, an employee assistance program, plus a range of flexible benefits.
  
  

We will rely on you to:

• Engage effectively with retail teams across MENA to:
  
• Provide strategic input in the renewal and placement planning process.
• Collect risk information and underlying coverage requirements.
• Present terms and comparative analyses to client-facing colleagues and/or clients.

• Lead the coordination of organizational resources necessary to drive sales to completion.
• Consult with management, practice, and retail teams on complex client issues or claims, developing clear communication and driving the development of solutions for excellent client service.
• While growth of the portfolio will be included, it will not be the main focus of this role, as business development colleagues and industry-based client-facing colleagues will primarily handle this responsibility.
