Graduate Program Overview

This program is designed to set you up with a holistic view of CRB with hands-on experience, insight, and opportunities to make an impact and shape your own career.

Alternative Risk Transfer Solutions (ART Solutions) Overview:

The Alternative Risk Transfer practice creates one-of-a-kind risk transfer solutions that address the needs of our large and sophisticated clients. These tailor-made risk financing solutions are a key response to some of the limitations of traditional insurance markets which can include

• Accessing additional or complimentary capacity
• Creating certainty of cost and coverage over a multiyear term
• Facilitating risk financing while protecting the P&L / Balance Sheet
• Creating solutions when the traditional market is unavailable or deemed inefficient

Range of activity: parametric insurance, multi-year monoline or multiline structured programs, multiline captive stop loss programs, and loss portfolio transfers.

Our staff have deep Alternative Risk expertise and provide a range of services from product/market education, analytically driven program evaluation, through to cradle-to-grave program placement. While our placements may be thematically similar, no two placements are the same. That said common tasks may include preparing presentation and marketing materials, client and risk research, submission creation using Broking Platform, liaising with markets, analyzing exposures using Willis proprietary modelling tools, negotiating quotations, quote evaluation, and providing advice to clients.

As a key member of the Alternative Risk Transfer Solutions team, you will contribute to all aspects of the alternative risk placement cycle.
