Director — Facultative Construction Reinsurance in Großmehring, München

Overview Location: Europe (flexible) This is not a conventional senior hire. A highly respected, independent specialist reinsurance broking business — backed by a well-capitalised international group — is seeking an exceptional Director-level professional to lead its Construction and Engineering facultative practice. The business operates primarily across European markets with global reach, placing complex, large-value risks with carriers across Lloyd's, continental Europe, Singapore, New York, Bermuda and beyond. This appointment sits at the heart of a deliberate and structured succession strategy. The person who takes this role will arrive with a platform, a mandate and the genuine expectation of shaping the strategic and operational direction of the business. This is principal-level responsibility — not a seat at someone else’s table. The Role You will take strategic ownership of the Construction and Engineering facultative practice, leading complex risk placement across global markets while driving the commercial and operational direction of the business. Alongside the incumbent leadership, you will execute a structured transition that positions you to assume full principal responsibility in due course. Day-to-day this means leading on the placement of large, complex facultative programmes, owning senior client relationships, developing new business across target sectors and geographies, and contributing meaningfully to the strategic direction of a business with ambitious growth plans — particularly across energy transition, renewables and emerging markets backed by group-level opportunity. What You\'ll Bring Extensive, demonstrable experience in facultative reinsurance broking across the construction and engineering sector is essential. You will have a track record of placing complex, large-value risks independently at senior level, with the carrier relationships, commercial credibility and personal gravitas to lead at board level and represent the business in global markets. Beyond the technical, you will be entrepreneurial in mindset — someone who thinks and acts like a principal, not a functionary. You\'ll be ambitious, collaborative, and genuinely motivated by the opportunity to own and shape a business rather than simply run a desk within one. Why This Role The business has real market standing, and the backing to grow aggressively in the sectors that matter most right now. This is succession, not just employment — and that distinction matters. To find out more in strict confidence, contact: #J-18808-Ljbffr
