Head of Alternative Capital & Enterprise Strategy

The Alternative Capital & Enterprise Strategy leader is accountable for defining, advancing, and executing the enterprise alternative capital strategy in support of Liberty Mutual’s broader capital management, risk financing, Global Risk Solutions, and enterprise financial objectives.

This role owns the strategic framework for evaluating alternative capital opportunities within the broader risk financing framework. The individual will define how third-party capital, structured reinsurance, insurance-linked securities, collateralized solutions, sidecars, legacy solutions, reserve solutions, and other capital markets structures can improve capital efficiency, reduce earnings volatility, diversify sources of capacity, optimize TBV growth within income volatility guardrails, and support targeted growth in priority portfolios.

The role requires a proactive, enterprise-minded leader who can translate market developments into actionable risk financing strategies. The individual will be expected to act decisively where market conditions are favorable, build flexibility where uncertainty persists, and identify opportunities to use alternative capital to improve downside protection, manage the cycle, enhance capital efficiency, and support enterprise growth.

This is both an external market-facing and internal enterprise leadership role. The leader will represent Liberty Mutual with investors, capital markets partners, brokers, reinsurers, banks, and other counter parties, while also driving alignment across Finance, Reinsurance, Actuarial, Underwriting, Claims, Investments, Legal, Tax, Accounting, Treasury, and business unit leadership.

• Set the external market engagement strategy with brokers, reinsurers, investors, banks, capital markets participants, and other counter parties to expand access to capital, create competitive tension, improve pricing and terms, and strengthen Liberty Mutual’s market position.
• Drive risk financing strategies that support targeted growth, including structures that enable larger line sizes, support priority portfolios, recycle capital, monetize underwriting expertise, generate fee income, and manage earnings volatility.
