Risk & Insurance Manager - Fixed-Term 8 months

This is a temporary role for a minimum of 8 months, joining the Insurance & Risk & Insurance team based in London to cover a project backfill.

The job holder will have key responsibilities across Insurance and will support Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM"). BAT has a sophisticated insurance strategy and advanced approach to ERM. This is a great opportunity for an insurance professional to develop their insurance and ERM skills in a large complex multi-national organisation.

In relation to insurance, the Insurance & ERM Manager will be responsible for the renewal and day to day management of certain of the Global Insurance programmes, including management and collaboration with the Group's chosen brokers and other external service providers.

With regards to Enterprise Risk Management, the job holder will support the identification, measurement, assessment of risk within the group and its reporting to senior leadership. This is a broad area as risk is reviewed regional and functionally and discussed at all levels within the organisation. Engagement with other compliance and control functions will be significant as there is extensive cross-functional collaboration on projects and risk assessment.

As with all organisations, BAT seeks to continually improve output and efficiencies, and therefore the job holder is expected to be able to propose recommendations for process improvements.
