These are additional nice to haves:

• Experience collaborating across multidisciplinary teams — including pricing, medical, claims and client-facing functions — with the ability to listen to different perspectives and give and receive constructive challenge
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging underwriting approaches, including data analytics, AI and digital tools, and how these can improve underwriting decisions and processes while maintaining sound risk management
• A track record of representing an organisation externally at industry events or in client forums, contributing to thought leadership on underwriting practices and emerging risks
