Senior Insurance Manager

In this Senior Insurance Manager role, you'll lead the development and delivery of our organisation-wide insurance strategy. This high-impact role will be responsible for ensuring our organisation and our supporters are appropriately protected, while securing best value from our insurance arrangements.

As our internal lead on all insurance-related matters, you'll play a pivotal role within the Finance Directorate working closely with colleagues across the organisation, as well as senior leaders, external brokers, insurers and specialist providers.

What it's like to work here

We're bigger than you think, we're more complicated than we appear and we're larger scale than you'd imagine. We've got passionate people in all our teams, and we've got so much more we want to achieve. We're forever, for everyone and we really mean that. We don't want to stop at 5.5 million members and we want everyone to feel welcome and enjoy access to our places, so we need to reach new audiences in ways that are meaningful and relevant to them without losing the hearts and minds of those that are already with us.

As this is a national role, there is flexibility on your contractual place of work. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We'll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40-60% of your working week.

What you'll be doing

You'll be responsible for leading the insurance strategy, aligning insurance arrangements with organisational risk appetite and long-term objectives. You'll optimise insurance programmes and contracts, ensuring they are fit for purpose, responsive in the event of loss and deliver value for money. You'll own and manage relationships with brokers, insurers, loss adjusters and uninsured loss recovery specialists, including tendering and performance management. Alongside this, you'll provide assurance and expert advice to senior stakeholders, including the Executive team, Audit & Risk Committee & Board of Trustees.
