- Collate information to support business case development for new and renewing facilities for business units
- Providing latest version of draft Binding Authority Agreement / Coverholder Appointment Agreement (BAA/CAA) / Line Slip MRC wordings to business units
- Ensuring all aspects of the facility set-up process are adhered to and Eclipse operating system is completed correctly
- Final review of marketed BAA/CAA / Line Slips
- Registration of the facility on internal and external registers
- Collation of information required to support mid-term adjustments and preparation of endorsements for the market agreement by the business unit
- Ensure creation and submission of risk written and premium bordereaux as per contract
- Provision of quarterly management information regarding facility performance for carriers in our insurer MI packs
- Liaison with 3rd party cover holders (where appropriate) to ensure effective set-up and management of their facility
- Resolution of facilities related queries with internal stakeholders, wider WTW, carriers and auditors

- Experience in Delegated Authority Binders and MRC Line Slips
- Excellent negotiation and influencing skills
- Ability to work effectively under pressure with multiple stakeholders
- Strong numeracy and literacy skills
- Working knowledge of MS Office Applications
- Attention to detail and high degree of accuracy
