Insurance M&A and Strategic Transactions

Associate / Vice President About the Opportunity

A leading alternative investment platform with a large and growing insurance solutions business is hiring into its M&A and strategic transactions team. The platform advises on and invests alongside a network of life, annuity, and P&C insurance affiliates, drawing on a broader credit and asset based finance investment engine. The team supports a steady pipeline of reinsurance treaties, block trades, and corporate acquisitions across the insurance and reinsurance space.

This role sits within the M&A and strategic transactions function and covers financial due diligence and valuation on insurance and reinsurance opportunities, deal modeling and structuring across reinsurance treaties, block trades, and corporate acquisitions, coordination with affiliated insurance entities and internal investment teams through the life of each deal, and authorship of investment memos and diligence materials for senior stakeholders and investment committees.

The successful candidate will work closely with senior members of the insurance solutions team and will get regular exposure to large scale life and annuity transactions, alongside broader M&A activity across the platform's insurance footprint.

• Familiarity with the asset side of insurance balance sheets, including fixed income, structured products, private credit, and asset based finance, with genuine interest in how investment strategy interacts with deal economics.
