What if you could shape how a global insurer uses capital to support growth, resilience and underwriting flexibility?
QBE is creating a new Head of Capital Solutions role to lead the design, execution and scaling of capital solutions across the Group. This is a high‑impact opportunity to influence group‑level capital strategy, with a particular focus on expanding the use of third‑party capital.

You will also be responsible for the management and execution of retrospective transactions such as loss portfolio transfers.
Combining strategic leadership with hands‑on delivery, the role offers end‑to‑end ownership of capital solutions activity and meaningful engagement with senior stakeholders, investors and regulators.
Having the right to work in this country is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.
