This role partners closely with client-facing teams to enhance prospecting, deepen client relationships, and support growth initiatives. The analyst conducts research across clients, brokers, industries, competitors, and our data, synthesizing findings into clear, decision-ready briefings that inform sales strategy and client engagement.

Prepare market reviews, financial and contractual comparisons, rate analyses, and other ad hoc business analyses. Assist with executive and client-facing activities, including meeting preparation, review materials, and follow-up communications. Contribute to business development projects, sales enablement materials, and distribution support initiatives. Maintain and organize distribution content, reports, and shared resources to ensure timely access to relevant information.
