• Lead end-to-end execution of insurance placements, including coordinating with insurers, preparing submission materials, reviewing deal documents, and ensuring timely binding of policies.
• Analyze transaction targets, key risks, and insurance structures, producing detailed reports on RWI terms, pricing, and coverage considerations.
• Review due diligence materials from both a real estate transactional and RWI perspective, identifying key issues and advising clients on risk implications and coverage strategies.
• Interpret and analyze purchase agreements and other deal documentation, with the ability to explain relevant provisions and implications to clients, colleagues, and insurers clearly and concisely.
• Review and understand core RWI policy provisions, contributing to internal discussions and external negotiations.
• Serve as a key point of contact between clients, insurers, and other stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and smooth coordination throughout the deal process.
• Support broader product discussions, including Tax, Structured Solutions, and Credit insurance offerings.

• Excellent analytical capabilities, including experience reviewing legal documentation, diligence reports, and transaction structures;
• Ability to lead deal execution independently while collaborating effectively with senior team members;
