- Support strategic priorities across Claims Operations, deputising where needed
You’ll do all this while protecting Lloyd’s reputation for fairness, expertise and trust.
What you’ll bring
You bring calm leadership, technical credibility and a collaborative mindset.
You’ll likely have:

- A solid understanding of Lloyd’s Open Form and marine salvage
- Experience managing complex, high‑value cases with multiple stakeholders
- Confidence communicating clearly with senior market participants and external partners
- A practical understanding of risk management, governance and financial controls
