Location: London

Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits

Miryco Consultants is working with a leading global management consultancy that is looking to appoint a senior professional to lead and develop its General Insurance M&A offering.

This is a high-profile opportunity for an established insurance M&A professional with a strong track record and extensive network across the GI M&A market. The successful candidate will play a leading role in developing the firm's M&A proposition, originating new opportunities and advising senior insurance clients on complex transactions.

The role would suit an individual who has built a strong reputation within General Insurance M&A and has significant experience working with insurers, investors and other key stakeholders across the market.

The Opportunity

You will take a senior leadership position within the firm's General Insurance M&A practice, helping to shape and grow the proposition while continuing to operate at the forefront of the market.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Lead the development and growth of the General Insurance M&A offering.
• Originate and develop new M&A opportunities through an established network across the GI market.
• Build and maintain senior relationships with insurers, reinsurers, investors, private equity firms and other financial services stakeholders.
• Lead the execution of complex M&A and strategic transactions from origination through to completion.
• Advise clients on acquisitions, disposals, mergers, strategic investments and broader corporate transactions.
• Provide strategic and commercial insight across the General Insurance market.
• Develop and lead high-performing teams across transaction and advisory engagements.
• Work closely with senior leadership to develop the firm's wider insurance strategy and market proposition.
• Represent the business externally and build its profile within the GI M&A community.
• Identify emerging market trends, opportunities and potential new areas for growth.
• Mentor and develop junior and mid-level professionals within the wider team.

About You

We are looking for an established senior professional with a demonstrable track record in General Insurance M&A.

Ideally, you will have:

• Significant experience within General Insurance M&A, corporate finance or strategic transactions.
• An extensive and well-established network across the GI M&A market.
• A strong track record of originating and executing M&A transactions.
• Deep knowledge of the General Insurance sector and its key participants.
• Strong relationships with senior executives across insurers, reinsurers, investors and financial institutions.
• Experience working in a leading management consultancy, investment bank, corporate finance advisory business or similar environment.
• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to identify and develop new opportunities.
• The credibility and gravitas to operate effectively with C-suite and Board-level stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, influencing and relationship-management skills.
• Experience leading teams and developing junior talent.
• The ability to combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach to transaction execution.

Qualified actuary status would be advantageous but is not a pre-requisite. We are equally interested in senior professionals who have developed their expertise through investment banking, corporate finance, consultancy or another relevant M&A environment.

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to take a leadership position within an established General Insurance M&A platform and play a fundamental role in its continued growth.

The successful candidate will have significant autonomy to leverage their existing market relationships, develop new business and shape the firm's M&A proposition. It offers the opportunity to work with senior decision-makers across the global insurance market on some of the sector's most significant transactions and strategic challenges.

If you are an established GI M&A professional with a strong market reputation and network and are interested in taking a leading role within a global advisory business, we'd be keen to hear from you.
