Key Responsibilities:

As the FI Practice Lead you are expected to carry an analytical, technical, and communicative role when handling the product line, including:

  • Developing relationships with existing and new clients and their insurance brokers
  • Managing renewals and new business submissions
  • Working together with internal and external stakeholders to ensure optimal service to our clients
  • Participating in wording development and marketing initiatives
  • Attend internal and external education & training sessions to ensure your continuous professional development
  • Underwriting allocation together with other Practice Leads and Head of Financial Lines
  • Support and build on our one Nordic team culture, including acting as referral point on FI products and ensuring our team is up to date on available training
  • Pipeline-building and evaluation of win-opportunities on new business for FI across the Nordics
  • Budget and forecast update and planning for Nordic FI

Position Requirements:

AIG strives to be a highly client focused organization, something that should be reflected in your social skills, personal structure, and high quality in every output of the work you perform. We are looking for a positive and proactive individual with a team-first and can-do attitude. The successful candidate thrives under the challenge of working in a focused, fast pace, international environment and we imagine that you:

  • Are a seasoned professional and have several years of experience within FL Underwriting
  • Have a clear understanding of Financial Institutions and their needs in different circumstances
  • Are structured, service minded, and pay attention to detail
  • Professional written and verbal English skills and speak a Nordic language
  • Have great communication skills and excel in negotiating and presenting to various stakeholders
  • Have proven leadership skills and are used to setting and achieving goals for yourself and others
