Vice President, Insurance Client Coverage

Overview The firm manages a substantial and growing book of insurance capital and is looking to add an experienced hire to deepen engagement with insurance clients across the US and internationally. The mandate spans capital formation, client relationship management, and investor coverage, and is open to candidates whose experience sits anywhere along that spectrum. Responsibilities The successful candidate will act as a senior insurance specialist on behalf of the firm, working across life, annuity, health, and property and casualty carriers as well as reinsurers and insurance affiliated asset managers. Responsibilities include ownership of a portfolio of insurance client relationships, engagement of the firm’s investment platform on behalf of those clients, contribution to the origination and structuring of new business, coordination of on‑boarding and ongoing servicing workflows, and support for the broader growth of the insurance franchise through industry engagement, product development, and internal partnership across investment, product, legal, compliance, and operations teams. Insurance clients bring a distinct set of considerations that shape how the coverage role is performed, including balance sheet management, rating agency treatment, capital and solvency frameworks, statutory and GAAP accounting, and the regulatory environments applicable to the underlying carriers. The search is therefore focused on a professional who can bring both a genuine understanding of insurance industry dynamics and the client craft required to operate as a trusted counterpart to senior insurance decision makers.
