Reinsurance Wordings Specialist

A market-leading, well-respected and Global Lloyd's Reinsurance Broker, are now seeking a Reinsurance Contract Wordings Specialist within the successful team.

Within your new company, their Advisory-led broking model focuses on client advocacy and delivering value through expert advice. In reinsurance, high-quality contracts are essential: even the best brokers, modellers, or claims teams cannot protect the business if the contract fails. The contract is ultimately enforceable in law, and recent trends—such as social inflation and increased regulatory scrutiny—have highlighted the risks of errors and omissions.

Currently, contract production lacks formal governance. Brokers and TAMs draft, negotiate, and use contracts with varying technical expertise, creating inconsistency and potential exposure. A dedicated Contract Governance function ensures contracts are legally sound, compliant, and aligned with market best practice, protecting both clients and the firm.

We are a forward-thinking, innovative broker seeking a Reinsurance Wordings Specialist to join our growing team. This role focuses on Facultative and Treaty Reinsurance solutions, helping clients manage and structure their risk through tailored multi-line, multi-year, and direct or Facultative solutions. You will work closely with our Wordings Director, Analytics team, Brokers, and Claims to create, manage, and review reinsurance contracts, ensuring they reflect negotiation intent, meet regulatory requirements, and address client needs.

• Draft, review, and quality-check reinsurance documentation (binders, slips, contracts, I&L agreements, NDAs, assignments).
• Identify potential issues and negotiate resolutions with brokers and counter parties.
• Ensure contracts comply with regulatory requirements, licensing, GDPR, and prudential standards.
• Maintain and update a library of approved wordings and templates.
• Support strategic planning, team learning sessions, and stakeholder engagement.
• Build and maintain strong client and business partner relationships.

• 2+ years’ experience in reinsurance contract review.
• Solid understanding of reinsurance concepts and documentation.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication across all levels.
• Legal training advantageous but not essential.
• Comfortable with remote collaboration and digital tools.
• Innovative, data-driven mindset, able to trial and implement new processes.
