  • Respond to incoming enquiries promptly, professionally, and with relevant product knowledge.
  • Liaise with brokers regarding the progress of applications and renewals.
  • Monitor client declarations and ensure all required documents are received and verified on time.
  • Review client websites, invoices, and marketing materials to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
  • Assist with the promotion of company products and services when required.
  • Contribute to a collaborative team environment and support day-to-day operational tasks across the team.
Experience:
  • Fluent French language skills (written and spoken) - essential.
  • Background in underwriting support, insurance administration, financial services, or a similar operational/administrative role (advantageous but not essential).
  • Strong customer service and stakeholder management skills.
  • High attention to detail with strong organisational and time-management ability.
  • Comfortable working across a varied workload with shifting priorities.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to handle queries professionally.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Outlook and general administrative systems.
  • Able to work both independently and as part of a small, collaborative team.
Organisation:
  • 12-month fixed-term contract.
  • Hybrid working model, with a requirement to be in the office a minimum of 4 days per week.
  • Small, close-knit team environment (approx. 30 employees).
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
