Senior Outward Reinsurance Technician
Job Description
Who we are
Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.
Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.
Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.
With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.
Your Role
As a Senior Outward Reinsurance Technician, you will join Apollo's Ceded Reinsurance team and play a key role in the administration, processing, and oversight of Apollo's outward reinsurance programmes across both Apollo syndicates and Platform Partner Syndicates.
Working closely with Underwriting, Finance, Claims, Actuarial teams, Brokers, and external reinsurance partners, you will support the full lifecycle of ceded reinsurance activity, ensuring accurate contract administration, timely reporting, and effective management of reinsurance arrangements across a diverse and growing portfolio.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative team at a time of continued growth. You will support multiple syndicates and partner businesses while helping to ensure Apollo continues to meet its operational and regulatory obligations across an increasingly complex reinsurance landscape.
What You'll Do
- Manage the administration and processing of outward reinsurance contracts across proportional and non-proportional treaty arrangements.
- Support the placement, maintenance, renewal, and ongoing management of reinsurance programmes across Apollo syndicates and Platform Partner Syndicates.
- Maintain accurate reinsurance records and contract data within XL Pro and associated systems.
- Process premium, claims, accounting, and settlement transactions relating to ceded reinsurance arrangements, including the provision of debiting instructions and management of activity through the Lloyd's Outwards Reinsurance Scheme (LORS).
- Support the month-end net close process, monitor reinsurer aged debt, and liaise with brokers and counterparties to resolve outstanding matters.
- Prepare and deliver Lloyd's Outwards Reinsurance reporting and related regulatory submissions.
- Support the administration of legacy and run-off reinsurance arrangements where required.
- Work closely with Underwriters, Finance, Claims, Actuarial teams, brokers, and external reinsurance counterparties to resolve queries and ensure accurate contract execution.
- Contribute to process improvement initiatives while maintaining strong operational controls and data quality standards.
- Support the continued growth of Apollo's Platform Partner Syndicates by providing high-quality ceded reinsurance administration and service delivery.
What We Are Looking For
- Demonstrable experience working within a London Market ceded reinsurance function.
- Strong knowledge of outward reinsurance operations and administration, including proportional and non-proportional treaty reinsurance.
- Proven experience using XL Pro and the Lloyd's Outwards Reinsurance Scheme (LORS) for reinsurance administration, contract management, and settlement activities.
- Experience preparing or supporting Lloyd's Outwards Reinsurance reporting and associated regulatory submissions.
- Strong understanding of reinsurance accounting, premium processing, claims administration, cashflow management, and aged debt monitoring.
- Experience working collaboratively with underwriting, finance, claims, actuarial teams, brokers, and reinsurers.
- Excellent attention to detail, organisational skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
- Effective communication and relationship-building skills across internal and external stakeholders
