Insurance CV

Job description

Insurance brokers and agents act as intermediaries between clients. These clients can be either individuals or insurance companies and commercials organisations. They offer products from more than one insurer to ensure that their clients get the best deal. Insurance use their in-depth knowledge of risks and the insurance market to find and arrange suitable insurance policies and arrange cover.

Retail insurance brokers usually arrange insurance policies for individuals or companies and deal directly with them (policies for individuals include house, motor, travel, pet cover and more, whereas policies for companies may cover damage to property and business disruption). Retail brokers also deal with employer's liability and public and products liability insurance.

Commercial insurance brokers deal with high value and more complex insurance cover in areas such as financials risks, as well as risks related to aviation, marine, oil and gas industries, etc.

Typical work activities depend on the type of employer and scale of the business. In a large company, a broker may specialise in a core area. However, in a small firm, they could be involved in most functions, including new business development and acting as placing broker and claims broker.

Tasks involve foreseeing clients' insurance needs, such as policy renewals; gathering information from clients, assessing their insurance needs and risk profile; building and maintaining ongoing relationships with clients including scheduling and attending meetings and understanding the nature of clients' businesses or lives; researching insurance companies' policies and negotiating with underwriters to find the most suitable insurance for clients at the best price; arranging specialised types of insurance cover in complex cases; this may involve preparing reports for insurance underwriters and surveyors and negotiating with insurers; advising clients on risk management and helping to devise new ways to mitigate risks, for example, by adding security measures such as fencing, surveillance cameras or lighting to commercial properties to reduce the likelihood of a break-in; ensuring clients understand the terms and the extent of the cover provided in line with industry regulations; renewing or amending existing policies; advising clients whether and when they need to make a claim on their policies; developing relationships with underwriters, surveyors, photographers, structural engineers and other professionals; administrative tasks such as paperwork, correspondence and keeping detailed records; collecting insurance premiums and processing accounts, etc.
