About the Role: The Company is in search of an Assistant General Counsel with a focus on M&A law to join their dynamic team. The successful candidate will be a senior transactional attorney with a minimum of 8 years' of relevant experience, including a strong background in insurance M&A and reinsurance. This role is pivotal in leading the structuring, negotiation, and execution of complex domestic and cross-border transactions, particularly in the areas of in-force blocks, coinsurance, modco treaties, and related financing arrangements. The Assistant General Counsel will also be responsible for serving as a trusted advisor to various internal stakeholders, managing outside counsel, and staying abreast of legal developments that impact (re)insurance M&A.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
