Insurance Specialist

An Insurance Specialist manages and advises on insurance policies to meet clients' needs. You might work for an insurance company, brokerage, or within an organisation’s risk management department. Insurance Specialists analyse risks, recommend appropriate coverage, and help clients understand their policy options. You’ll handle claims, ensure compliance with regulations, and provide expert advice to protect clients' assets and minimise financial loss.

Insurance Specialists play a crucial role in safeguarding clients' interests. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and have strong analytical skills to evaluate risks and policies effectively. You’ll communicate clearly with clients to explain complex insurance terms and ensure they receive the best possible coverage for their needs.
