Reinsurance Manager

About the role

We are excited to announce a newly created opportunity within our Reinsurance team at Youi, based in Pitt Street, Sydney. We are seeking a motivated professional currently at a specialist level who is ready to step into a manager role. This position offers a unique chance to advance your career in a supportive and dynamic environment.

In this pivotal role, you will facilitate and manage effective reinsurance arrangements that align with our strategic business objectives. Reporting directly to the Head of Reinsurance & Appointed Actuary, you will engage in face-to-face interactions with reinsurers while overseeing the detailed administration of contracts and agreements. This balance between client-facing responsibilities and meticulous contract management will be essential for your success and the success of our team.

As part of our small, collaborative team, you will connect with the broader Actuarial and Analytics department. Your participation in the Australian Actuarial Forum and attendance at bi-weekly meetings with our CEO and group CEO—both seasoned actuaries—will provide you with valuable insights and networking opportunities.

We encourage individuals who demonstrate entrepreneurial thinking, problem-solving skills, and a drive for career progression to consider this opportunity. If you’re eager to embrace this challenge, shape our reinsurance strategies, and advance your career in an environment that values collaboration and innovation, we want to hear from you

Join us and be part of a team where your contributions will be recognised and celebrated.

Ways of working

We welcome applications from candidates based in Sydney or those considering a relocation to the area. Our hybrid working model requires in-office attendance from Tuesday to Thursday.
