Senior Reinsurance Claims Analyst

A typical week often involves complex claim analysis, treaty-and-coverage review, ceding-company coordination, and the steady cadence of senior advisory work — reviewing large losses for reinsurance applicability, interpreting complex treaty language, working with ceding-company claims teams on file information, prepping recovery reporting for senior management. You're often the senior analytical voice when reinsurance applicability requires careful interpretation. Recovery accuracy, treaty interpretation, and reporting timeliness are the operating measures.

The friction surfaces in the treaty-interpretation complexity — every reinsurance contract has unique provisions, exclusions, and aggregation rules, and senior analysts spend real time on careful interpretation. Variance across employers is real: at major reinsurers the work runs in structured systems with mature methodology; at retrocession or specialty reinsurers the work is more bespoke.

It fits people who are contractually disciplined, analytically deep, and patient with documentation work. CPCU, ARe, and senior reinsurance credentials anchor advancement. The trade-off is the long-tail accountability — reinsurance recoveries surface over years as ceded losses develop, and decisions made today carry forward.
