The role

Fidelis is searching for a talented, experienced Lloyd's Risk Manager to join its expanding Risk Management team. The Lloyd's Risk Manger will have the opportunity to work closely with senior business leaders to drive enhancements and execute the company's global risk framework. This role will specialise on the Lloyd's of London insurance capacity as well as the Pine Walk MGAs which are owned and managed by The Fidelis Partnership. This person will also have regular and direct access to the Global Chief Risk Officer, Executive Committee and Management Committee Members, Senior Underwriters, Syndicate Board Members, MGA CEOs and other functional leaders.



The role will offer significant growth potential as part of a team that covers the entirety of the rapidly growing Group. The individual will be expected to act independently and to manage elements of the Risk Management Framework with little day-to-day oversight. The Lloyd's Risk Manager will be expected to leverage the work performed by other members of the Risk Management Team including the Risk Director, IT Risk Director and Risk Analyst.



The Lloyd's Risk Manager is a senior position and will be expected to use their skills to help influence our nimble and innovative business. This role will provide unique insight and access into the world-class underwriting process along with all other key functions for the business.



The Lloyd's Risk Manager will have to be highly organised, detail orientated and an effective stakeholder manager. This person will need to be a strong communicator (written and verbal) with a high level of emotional intelligence. We are looking for someone with significant experience in both Specialty or General Insurance and Risk Management but are open to candidates with the requisite skills and comparable experience in other sectors. Direct experience in the Lloyd's of London Market and, in particular, with Managing Agencies would be highly valuable experience for this role.



The Lloyd's Risk Manager will be instrumental in enhancing and embedding the ongoing monitoring of the Lloyd's of London syndicates that will be managed by The Fidelis Partnership. One of these (Syndicate 3123) commenced operations on 1 July 2024 and is currently on track to underwrite over 500m in 2025.



The Risk Management team covers a comprehensive view of enterprise risks including strategic, operational, service, regulatory and financial risks. The Risk Management function also works closely with the Exposure, Pricing and Capital functions to oversee insurance risk for the carriers serviced by The Fidelis Partnership.
