Position Overview:

This role requires deep experience investing insurance and reinsurance capital, with a strong understanding of regulatory capital, liquidity, duration, and ratings considerations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate tranche structures, capital stacks, and insurance suitability.
• Apply actuarial and balance-sheet thinking to underwriting and portfolio construction.

RBC Management & Capital Optimization:

• Assess portfolio-level RBC implications across:
• Structured credit and CLOs
• Private and specialty credit
• Fixed income and insurance-linked assets
• Real estate loans and equity
• Optimize capital efficiency and returns while maintaining regulatory discipline.

Fixed Income Strategy & Manager Oversight:

• Define a fixed income strategy aligned with reinsurance liabilities.
• Oversee external asset managers where appropriate.
• Maintain discipline around duration, liquidity, credit quality, and capital charges.

Cross-Functional Partnership:

• Partner closely with structuring, actuarial, and regulatory stakeholders.
• Ensure investment decisions align with regulatory and ratings frameworks.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years in insurance asset management, structured credit, or CLO investing.
• Direct experience managing insurance or reinsurance portfolios.
• Strong understanding of RBC, liquidity, duration, and capital charges.
• Prior experience at an insurance-focused asset manager, insurer investment team, or structured credit platform.
• Comfortable operating as a senior IC.

Why This Role Matters:

This role directly shapes Bastion Reinsurance’s ability to deploy capital efficiently while preserving regulatory discipline and ratings integrity across market cycles.
