This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth business at a pivotal stage of its journey, combining deep marine insurance expertise with cutting-edge data, analytics, and loss-prevention technology to reshape how marine risk is managed.

Backed by leading investors and supported by major global shipping groups, the business has achieved significant growth in a short period and is now looking for a senior leader to drive its next phase.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional employed position, it is a strategic leadership and partnership role offering real autonomy, influence, and long-term upside.

You will take full ownership of the firm’s London Market broking activity, playing a key role in shaping strategy, building a high-performing team, and driving sustainable revenue growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop the London Market marine broking strategy
  • Build, scale, and manage a high-performing marine broking team
  • Strengthen and expand relationships with key insurers and market stakeholders
  • Drive growth across complex and high-value marine insurance programmes
  • Work closely with senior leadership on long-term business strategy
  • Leverage technology and data insights to enhance client outcomes
  • Play a central role in hiring and developing specialist broking talent

Priority Focus Areas

  • Immediate focus on building out a War Risks capability
  • Expansion across specialist marine lines including:
  • Cargo
  • Protection & Indemnity (P&I)
  • Machinery
  • Loss Prevention / complex risk solutions

About You

  • Proven senior leadership experience within the London Marine Insurance Market
  • Strong network of broker and underwriter relationships with established credibility
  • Track record of building and scaling teams, portfolios, and revenue
  • Deep technical knowledge across marine insurance classes
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to operate effectively in a high-growth / scale-up environment
  • Hands-on leadership style with the ability to drive both strategy and execution
  • Experience handling complex, high-exposure risks
  • A background within a leading marine brokerage or insurer is highly desirable.

What’s on Offer

  • Executive-level package with meaningful equity participation
  • Genuine partnership opportunity with long-term value creation
  • Autonomy to build and shape a market-leading marine broking platform
  • Backing from capital, technology, and an established global client base
  • Opportunity to be a key figure in a disruptive, high-growth business

If you’re a senior marine insurance leader looking for a role where you can truly shape a business and benefit from its success, please get in touch and send your CV or contact sophie@nashrock.co.uk
