Reinsurance Search

Specialist executive search for global reinsurers, focusing on highly technical treaty, facultative, and actuarial mandates at the leadership and executive level.

What We Specialise In

The reinsurance sector relies on rare technical acumen and a global perspective on risk transfer. We specialise in identifying and placing the industry’s most capable professionals across treaty and facultative structures, as well as the advanced actuarial and analytical talent that underpins them.

From complex specialty risks to broad property catastrophe programmes, we understand the specific nuances of the reinsurance market and possess the network required to access top-tier professionals who rarely look at advertised roles.

Regions & Reach

Headquartered in South Africa, our reinsurance practice has a genuinely global reach. We support reinsurers operating across South Africa and the wider African continent, while actively placing African and international reinsurance specialists into critical roles across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Roles We Recruit

Our mandates range from senior technical specialists to regional leadership and C-suite appointments:

  • Treaty Underwriters (Property, Casualty, Specialty)
  • Facultative Underwriters
  • Reinsurance Actuaries (Pricing & Reserving)
  • Catastrophe Modellers and Exposure Analysts
  • Chief Underwriting Officers (CUOs)
  • Managing Directors and Country/Regional Heads

Who This Service Is For

We act as the trusted talent partner for global reinsurers, regional reinsurance carriers, and reinsurance brokers who require discrete, rigorous search execution to fill their most strategic and technically demanding positions.

Our Search Process

Reinsurance talent pools are small and highly interconnected. We use intelligence-led mapping and targeted direct headhunting to engage with passive candidates. We assess not only their technical underwriting or analytical track record, but their ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships across borders and cultures.
