Job Purpose
This position is responsible for shaping, running, and overseeing Britam Rwanda’s reinsurance operations, treaty structures, and related regulatory obligations. It combines hands-on administration with broader risk oversight to protect capital, reduce exposure to counterparties, preserve solvency margins, and ensure full compliance with BNR Risk-Based Supervision requirements and Article 8 rules.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee compliance of the reinsurance framework with BNR Risk-Based Supervision standards, including the preparation, validation, and on-time filing of mandatory BNR returns and bordereaux.
- Track and document corporate peak exposures, seasonality considerations, and credit risk appetite parameters to support Article 8 statutory requirements.
- Review the financial strength and structural exposure of reinsurers to limit default risk and improve capital relief under BNR capital rules.
- Manage the full recovery cycle on a case-by-case basis, with a target of 30 days after payment, while actively following up and clearing outstanding recovery backlogs.
- Assist with annual treaty renewal design, documentation, and negotiations, and help coordinate facultative placements for large risks, including ASSAR non-objection procedures.
- Check and reconcile technical data across TIA and Oracle Financials, and resolve mismatches in ledger records.
- Work closely with Underwriting, Claims, Finance, and Group Risk teams to remove process delays and provide analysis and updates for Executive Management and Board reporting.
Qualifications & Experience
A bachelor’s degree in actuarial science, Insurance, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or another closely related quantitative discipline is required. Professional qualifications such as ACII, AIIK, or equivalent insurance/actuarial finance papers are strongly preferred. Candidates should bring 4 to 6 years of relevant experience in commercial insurance, reinsurance brokerage, or actuarial/underwriting environments, especially where corporate risk transfer and treaty work are involved.
