Commercial Risk Solutions: Trends in economics, demographics and geopolitics – compounded by the rapid pace of technological change – are creating unprecedented volatility for organisations. We assist clients with their insurance buying decisions, aiming to optimize the balance of risk transfer and retention financing through valuation and analysis.

Our Commercial Risk graduates and Reinsurance graduates are part of rotational programmes within each solution line.
Whether you join Commercial Risk or Reinsurance Solutions, all our graduates experience the full lifecycle of our business; from trading risk in the market and understanding the importance of claims, through to winning new business.
You’ll focus on developing client-management skills too and build relationships to enable sales/revenue growth. You will make data led decisions while working with a broad spectrum of people, including clients, our own industry specialists and members of the global insurance and reinsurance markets.
During your rotations you’ll gain exposure to both technical and client-facing roles — this will help you to understand the specialist advice our clients rely on, and how we share it with them. Placements can include broking, claims, client management and specialist project roles.
We encourage you to take the time to review our Commercial Risk & Reinsurance solution lines. When you complete your application, select your first-choice preferred solution line should you be successful. Please note that where possible, we will try to consider you for your first-choice preference, however we cannot guarantee your first choice due to availability of roles. If your first choice is unavailable at the time of your Assessment Centre, we will also consider you for the other teams.
