Target Openings

What Is the Opportunity?

Travelers Insurance are looking for a Head of Risk Control to join our team in London.

As part of the Leadership Team for Business Enablement Europe, you will execute the Risk Control Target Operating Model and organisational strategy aligned to local Business objectives. You will drive the shift towards earlier risk engagement through pre-bind surveys and improve risk selection through enhanced data insights and prioritisation.

Coordinate training programmes aligned to general, specialist or regional initiatives and identified capability gaps.

Business Partnering & Relationship Management
Build and maintain productive, trust-based relationships with Europe Underwriting Leaders, distribution, brokers, claims, and key clients.
Develop specific strategies with underwriting and business partners for using RC resources to improve acquisition, retention, and overall profitability of books of business.
