Head of Insurance Solutions & Securitisation

Location: London (with international travel)

We are working with a private markets advisory business looking to build out its insurance-led capital and credit solutions capability through the appointment of a Head of Insurance Solutions & Securitisation.

This is a senior, externally facing role focused on the structuring, origination and execution of non-payment insurance solutions across private credit and related asset classes.

The role sits between insurance, structured finance and private markets, with a clear mandate to develop relationships across banks, insurers and asset managers, using insurance capital as a tool for risk transfer and capital optimisation.

The role

• Lead the origination and structuring of non-payment insurance solutions for private credit, fund finance and related transactions
• Work with lenders, asset managers and sponsors to integrate insurance into financing structures as a form of credit risk mitigation and capital efficiency
• Structure and place insurance-backed credit risk transfer transactions, including both portfolio and single asset solutions
• Support clients in using insurance to manage exposures, optimise balance sheets and enhance lending capacity
• Develop relationships with insurance markets, including underwriters and reinsurers, to source capacity across transactions
• Advise on and execute transactions involving synthetic and traditional securitisation structures, including significant risk transfer solutions
• Work closely with internal distribution and advisory teams to support client coverage and origination activity
• Contribute to the development of the firm’s broader insurance and structured capital offering

The profile

• Significant experience in credit risk transfer, structured finance or insurance solutions, ideally within a broker, bank or advisory platform
• Strong understanding of non-payment insurance, trade credit insurance or related credit risk mitigation products
• Experience structuring and executing transactions involving securitisation or insurance-backed risk transfer
• Familiarity with the use of insurance as a tool for transferring credit risk and supporting capital efficiency for lenders
• Track record of working with insurers and financial institutions on complex, cross-border transactions
• Commercial mindset, with the ability to originate opportunities and build a pipeline of client activity
• Strong technical grounding combined with the ability to engage clients in a clear and practical way

This role will suit someone who has built their career within credit risk transfer or insurance-linked structured solutions and is looking to step into a broader origination and platform-building role.

It offers the opportunity to develop a differentiated capability within a growing private markets platform, with direct exposure to clients and a clear link between structuring activity and revenue generation.
