Reinsurance Operations Manager

Description

Risk Financing sits at the center of how Liberty Mutual transfers risk to the reinsurance market, and its effectiveness depends on a large number of functions moving in step. This role exists to make that happen. As Reinsurance Operations Manager, you will be the connective tissue between Risk Financing and its key partner functions — Enterprise Risk Management, RI Operations, RI Accounting, Legal, Tax, LM Re and the broker community — ensuring that priorities are clearly set, actively managed and consistently executed across all of them.

This is a role for someone who is energized by turning recurring friction into durable process. You will own the definition of the treaty lifecycle and its implementation across the team, contribute to the standard operating procedures that allow placement teams to act with confidence, and take a leading role in renewal preparation and management — including the treaty handover to downstream teams within agreed service levels. You will work across the full lifecycle, from market approval and reinsurer governance through binding, post-placement data delivery and in-force management.

Much of the work involves shaping the agenda of teams you do not manage, so the ability to build credibility, communicate with clarity in writing and in person, and hold a position under senior scrutiny is central to success.

What you'll do

• Serve as a key operational point of contact between Risk Financing and its partner functions, establishing and maintaining a governed cadence with each
• Own the treaty lifecycle definition end to end and drive its adoption across the Risk Financing team
• Author, secure approval for and implement standard operating procedures and standardized templates that remove ambiguity and reduce duplication of work
• Own operational renewal preparation and management for reinsurance cycles, including new process implementation, training, and monitoring of operational handovers to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and RI Operations withing tight SLAs
• Partner with ERM on reinsurer governance, collateral requirements, approved market lists and concentration frameworks, and implement approved changes as business as usual
• Support regulatory and control processes including SSAP62 risk transfer reviews, transfer pricing documentation and internal audit requests
• Drive data quality and standardization initiatives with internal teams and external delivery partners
• Identify and champion opportunities to simplify how the team delivers, including responsible adoption of GenAI tooling

At least 75% of time is spent on a combination of the following responsibilities:

• Competencies typically acquired through a Bachelor`s degree or equivalent experience in addition to 8+ years of relevant experience to include reinsurance operations, process improvement, accounting or audit

• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the judgement to adapt the same material for operational, financial and risk-and-controls audiences
• Sound working knowledge of treaty structures, reinsurer governance and regulatory requirements affecting reinsurance transactions
• Comfort operating with autonomy and precision on long-horizon initiatives alongside a high volume of ad hoc requests
