1What this role really is

This isn't just about shuffling papers; it's about being the company's eyes and ears for insurance operations. You'll be the person who makes sure our insurance data is spot on, that our certificates of insurance go out without a hitch, and that our claims get reported quickly. Honestly, you're a key cog in keeping our risk transfer machine running smoothly, making sure we're covered when things go sideways.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

RMIS (Risk Management Information System) - e.g., Origami Risk, RiskonnectIntermediate

Entering claims data, running pre-built reports for claims history or COI issuance, managing COI issuance modules, and updating policy information. You'll be following established workflows, but doing so independently.

Advanced Excel (Power Query, PivotTables)Intermediate

Using VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, PivotTables, and basic formulas for premium allocations, reconciling data from various sources, and preparing exposure schedules for renewals. You should be comfortable manipulating existing data models and cleaning data.

Data Visualisation Tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)Basic

Viewing and interacting with existing dashboards to pull claims data, loss run information, or premium trends. You'll be able to filter and interpret the data, but not necessarily build new dashboards from scratch yet.

GRC Platforms (e.g., ServiceNow GRC, Archer)Basic

Responding to data requests from the GRC team, understanding how our insurance data feeds into the overall risk register, and perhaps updating basic insurance-related controls if guided.

Document Management Systems (e.g., SharePoint, OpenText)Intermediate

Uploading and tagging policies, endorsements, and certificates. You'll manage folder structures, ensure correct version control, and retrieve documents efficiently when needed.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Issuing Certificates of Insurance (COIs)	Prepares draft COIs for review and approval by a senior team member.	Independently issues standard COIs within established parameters. Escalates non-standard requests or complex wording requirements.	Defines the overall COI issuance process and approval matrix. Approves non-standard or high-risk COI requests.
Claims Reporting & Initial Management	Logs incident details into the RMIS and prepares initial notification for review.	Reports routine claims directly to insurers, tracks progress, and gathers initial information. Escalates complex or litigated claims to senior management.	Leads the strategy for significant claims, manages external counsel, and negotiates settlements with insurers.
Policy Review & Document Management	Uploads and files policy documents following strict naming conventions.	Performs initial review of new policies for obvious changes/errors, highlights these to senior management, and manages the digital policy library.	Negotiates policy wording directly with brokers/insurers, designs the policy document management taxonomy, and ensures compliance.
Data Collection for Renewals	Gathers specific data points from internal teams as requested by a senior team member.	Independently manages the data collection process for specific lines of coverage, verifying accuracy and completeness before submission to brokers.	Defines the overall data strategy for renewals, reviews consolidated exposure data, and presents it to underwriters.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

COI Issuance Speed

How quickly you can turn around standard Certificates of Insurance requests for our internal teams and external partners.

Target · >95% of standard requests fulfilled within 24 hours

If we get 50 standard COI requests in a month, you'd need to complete at least 48 of them within a day. The remaining 2 might be complex and need more time, but they'd be the exception, not the rule.

Data Accuracy for Renewals

The cleanliness and correctness of the exposure data you gather and prepare for our insurance renewals. This is critical for getting good pricing.

Target · <2% error rate in renewal exposure data submitted

If you submit 100 data points for our property renewal, we'd expect no more than two minor errors. A major error, like a missing location or incorrect valuation, would be a much bigger deal, obviously.

Claims Reporting Lag Time

The average time it takes from when an incident is reported internally to you, until it's formally reported to the insurer.

Target · Average time from incident notification to insurer reporting < 48 hours

If HR tells you about an employee incident on Monday morning, we'd expect you to have it formally reported to our Workers' Compensation insurer by Wednesday morning at the latest. Faster is always better, especially for serious incidents.

Policy Document Management

How well you organise and maintain our insurance policy documents, ensuring they're up-to-date and easily accessible.

Target · >98% of new policies and endorsements uploaded and tagged correctly within 5 business days of receipt

When a new policy document or endorsement comes in, you'll need to get it into our document management system, correctly named, tagged, and in the right folder, almost immediately. No one wants to hunt for a policy when a claim hits.

Internal Stakeholder Satisfaction

How happy our internal teams are with the support and information you provide regarding insurance matters.

Positive feedback from internal clients (e.g., Legal, HR, Operations) on your responsiveness and helpfulness. They'll come to you directly for routine questions, rather than escalating them to your manager. You're seen as a reliable point of contact for their insurance needs.

Process Improvement Contributions

Your ability to spot inefficiencies in our current insurance processes and suggest practical ways to make them better.

You'll proactively suggest small tweaks to our COI request form, or a better way to collect renewal data from a specific department. These aren't huge strategic shifts, but practical, day-to-day improvements that save time or reduce errors. You're not just following the process, you're thinking about how to polish it.

Proactive Issue Identification

Your knack for noticing potential problems or discrepancies in insurance documents or data before they become bigger issues.

You might spot a typo in a policy endorsement that could change coverage, or notice that a vendor's COI has expired without anyone else flagging it. You're catching the small stuff that could become big stuff later. Your manager won't have to point out obvious gaps
you'll bring them up first.

Informal Mentorship & Support

How well you help out new team members or junior analysts, sharing your knowledge and helping them get up to speed.

You'll be the one new joiners go to with their 'silly' questions. You'll patiently explain how a particular form works or where to find specific information. It's not formal management, but you're making the team stronger by sharing what you know and helping others get unstuck.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Ensuring Things Are 'Right'

You get a real kick out of knowing that a document is perfectly filed, a piece of data is completely accurate, or a process has been followed to the letter. There's a deep satisfaction in making sure the details are correct and that everything is in its proper place. It's about maintaining order and precision.

Successfully reconciling a complex premium allocation spreadsheet down to the last penny, or catching a crucial error in a policy document before it goes live.

Being the Go-To Person for Specific Tasks

You enjoy becoming the expert on particular insurance lines or processes. You like it when colleagues know they can rely on you for accurate information or to get a specific task done efficiently. There's satisfaction in building that reputation for reliability and knowledge within your defined area.

When the HR team always comes to you first for advice on employee benefits insurance certificates, or when you're the one who always knows where to find a particular historical policy document.

Contributing to the Company's Financial Defence

Even at this level, you understand that your work directly contributes to protecting the company's assets. Ensuring accurate claims reporting or proper policy documentation isn't just admin; it's a shield against financial loss. You feel a sense of responsibility in playing that part.

Successfully reporting a claim that leads to a significant payout, or ensuring all contractual insurance requirements are met for a new, important vendor.

What frustrates people

Chasing internal stakeholders for exposure data that's always late, incomplete, or just plain wrong.
Dealing with the sheer volume of Certificate of Insurance requests, many of which have slightly different, fiddly requirements.
Explaining basic insurance concepts repeatedly to people who just don't seem to get it.
The annual renewal scramble, which is always more chaotic than it needs to be.
Feeling like you're constantly putting out small fires rather than building something new.

What this role does not give you

Daily strategic decision-making or setting the overall insurance strategy for the company.
Direct management of a team or significant budget authority.
Constant exposure to novel, unstructured problems that require 'thinking outside the box' every day.
A quiet, uninterrupted environment – expect regular pings and requests.

6Who you work with

Your work ensures the smooth operation of our insurance programmes. You're making sure we meet our contractual obligations, accurately report incidents, and provide solid data for renewals. Get it right, and the company's financial risk is managed effectively. Get it wrong, and we could be looking at uninsured losses or compliance issues, which no one wants.

Inside the business

Senior Insurance Manager (your direct boss, obviously)
Legal Team (for policy wording and claims support)
Procurement (for vendor insurance requirements)
HR Team (for employee benefits and D&O related queries)
Operations Teams (for property and casualty exposure data)

Outside the business

Insurance Brokers (our main point of contact for policies)
Insurers (for claims reporting and basic queries)
External Vendors (who need COIs from us, or whose COIs we need to check)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

At least 2-5 years of hands-on experience in an insurance, risk management, or finance role, ideally within a corporate environment or a brokerage.
Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines, especially in a data-heavy or document-intensive role.
Demonstrable experience with at least one RMIS platform (e.g., Origami Risk, Riskonnect) for data entry and reporting.
Solid intermediate-level Excel skills, including PivotTables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, and basic data manipulation.
A track record of meticulous attention to detail and accuracy in previous roles.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

RMIS Configuration & Custom Reporting

Critical within 12-18 months. As you become more familiar with our RMIS, you'll need to move beyond just running pre-built reports. The ability to configure simple dashboards, build custom reports for specific TCOR analysis, or even manage minor data integrations will make you invaluable.

Report Builder Interface · Dashboard Design Principles · Data Export & Import Templates · User Access & Permissions

This month: Explore the 'report builder' function in our RMIS. See what custom reports others have built.
Month 2: Ask your Senior Insurance Manager for a small, non-critical report you can try to build from scratch in the RMIS.
Month 3: Work with the RMIS vendor's support team to understand how to create a simple custom dashboard.
Month 4-6: Document one common data integration process and suggest improvements.

Quick win: Identify one recurring report that's currently done manually and investigate if it can be automated or built within the RMIS.

Advanced Excel Modelling & Automation

Important within 12 months. While you're good with Excel now, moving to the next level means building more complex financial models for risk retention analysis, using Power Query for more robust data cleansing, and even dabbling in VBA for process automation.

Financial Modelling Best Practices · Power Query for Data Transformation · Basic VBA for Macros · Scenario Analysis

This month: Take an online course on Power Query in Excel. It's a game-changer for data cleaning.
Month 2: Try to automate one repetitive task you do in Excel using a simple macro (record, then tweak).
Month 3: Work with your Senior Insurance Manager to build a small, simple model for a 'what if' scenario related to a deductible change.
Month 4-6: Explore using Excel's data validation and conditional formatting more extensively to improve data quality.

Quick win: Learn one new Power Query function this week and apply it to a dataset you regularly work with.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Attend industry webinars and seminars on emerging risks (e.g., cyber, climate change) or new insurance products. Our brokers often host these, and they're a great way to stay current.
Join professional networks like the Association of Insurance and Risk Managers (AIRMIC) to connect with peers and learn from their experiences.
Take online courses (e.g., on LinkedIn Learning, Coursera) to brush up on your Excel skills, learn about data visualisation, or explore basic coding (like Python for data analysis).
Read industry publications and news (e.g., Insurance Post, Business Insurance) to keep abreast of market trends and regulatory changes.
Participate in internal training sessions, especially those related to our RMIS or other finance systems.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering (for routine drafting & analysis)

Critical within 6 months—this isn't future tech, it's here now. Competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT or Claude to draft initial claim narratives, summarise policy changes, or even help clean data. Analysts who figure this out will simply be more productive, freeing up time for more complex work.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Clear & Concise Prompting
Context & Constraints
Output Validation
Iterative Prompting

Data Storytelling (for basic insights)

Important within 12 months. It's not enough to just present numbers; you need to be able to explain what they mean, especially to non-finance people. As you take on more ownership, you'll be asked to present basic claims trends or premium allocations, and simply showing a spreadsheet won't cut it anymore.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Insurance Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Insurance Manager is a start, not a ceiling. Each step below asks for new skills and hands back more autonomy.

Senior Insurance Manager (L3)
3-5 years in the current role
You'll move from owning specific processes to managing entire insurance programmes for specific lines of coverage (e.g., Property or Casualty). You'll handle day-to-day broker interactions more independently and manage smaller claims from start to finish.
- Full ownership of specific insurance lines (e.g., Property, Motor Fleet)

- Conducting basic TCOR analysis for your specific programmes
- Designing and implementing minor process improvements

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, parts of insurance management can be a bit of a grind. Chasing data, reviewing endless documents, drafting routine communications – it all takes time. But what if you could offload some of that to smart AI tools? We're not talking about robots taking over your job; we're talking about giving you superpowers to get through the tedious stuff faster, so you can focus on the more interesting, impactful work.

Here at Zavmo, we're really keen on using AI to make your day-to-day work smoother. For an Insurance Manager, that means less time on repetitive admin and more time on understanding risks, improving processes, and actually adding value. We're building out an AI Productivity Hub specifically for Finance roles, and you'll be one of the first to tap into these tools.

Automated COI Verification

Picture this: instead of manually checking every single Certificate of Insurance from our vendors, an AI tool scans them automatically. It'll verify that the limits, endorsements, and named insureds meet our contractual requirements, flagging only the non-compliant ones for your quick review. Think of the time you'll save on that avalanche of COI requests!

AI-Powered Policy Initial Review

When a new 100-page policy or endorsement comes in, you won't have to read every single word from scratch. An AI model can quickly compare it against last year's policy or a library of standard terms, instantly highlighting new exclusions, restrictive language, or missing clauses for your attention. It's like having a super-fast assistant for your first pass.

Initial Claim Narrative Drafting

Starting a new claim can be a bit daunting, right? You need to get all the key details down for the insurer. A generative AI assistant can help you draft a structured, comprehensive first notice of loss (FNOL) narrative. Just give it a few bullet points from an internal incident report, and it'll create a clear, concise draft, making sure you don't miss anything important.

Data Cleansing & Validation

The exposure data we get for renewals can be messy. AI tools can help you quickly identify inconsistencies, missing values, or potential errors in large datasets. It's not magic, but it's a huge step up from manual spreadsheet checks, helping you get cleaner data to our brokers faster and with less effort.

What new skills matter most for an Insurance Manager?

Increasingly, Prompt Engineering (for routine drafting & analysis) and Data Storytelling (for basic insights). These are the areas where the higher-paid, future-proof work is heading.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an Insurance Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 20 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an Insurance Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Finance roles

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role are highly transferable. You could move into insurance broking (working for a broker), underwriting (working for an insurer), or even risk consulting. Your core understanding of risk transfer, policy wording, and claims management is valuable across the entire insurance ecosystem, both in the UK and internationally.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.

You're not behind. You're right on time. The shift is only just beginning. Your role won't look the same in two years. Be the one who leads the change, not the one it happens to.
