About the role

We are looking for a highly organised and detail-oriented professional to support the administrative management of Cargo facilities, binders, and line slips across their full lifecycle. This role plays a key part in ensuring the accurate creation, renewal, tracking, and reporting of facility documentation, helping to maintain smooth operations and strong governance within the Cargo service team.

You will work closely with the Cargo service team, the DART team, Claims, and other internal stakeholders to coordinate the preparation and processing of facility slips, endorsements, declarations, and supporting documentation. A major part of the role is maintaining accurate data throughout the validity period of each facility, ensuring that records are complete, current, and ready for reporting, audit, and leadership review.

• You will also be involved in the handling of bordereaux and monthly declarations, as directed by the Cargo facility service team, as well as managing Profit Commissions where required. In addition to the transactional work, you will help produce quarterly reports for the Cargo facility service team and leadership meetings, giving stakeholders the information they need to monitor performance and manage facilities effectively.
• Another key part of the role will be working with Claims to prepare annual claims performance reports and supporting the team through audit processes. This means you will have the opportunity to contribute to both the operational accuracy and the broader oversight of Cargo facility management.

• Liaise with Claims to create annual claims performance reports for use by the Cargo facility service team and/or leadership meetings
• Support the Cargo facility service team with audit processes
• Work with a high level of accuracy, organization, and attention to detail
• Communicate clearly and professionally with internal stakeholders across teams

What you need to have:

• Previous experience or a strong interest in insurance operations, account administration, broking support or a related administrative role
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise a high-volume workload and meet tight SLAs
• A basic understanding of underwriting and policy administration processes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence when corresponding with brokers, carriers, and offshore operations teams
• High attention to detail and accurate data entry skills
• A proactive, reliable, and collaborative approach

What makes you stand out:

• A keen eye for detail and a willingness to learn how to check, track and update information accurately
• An interest in working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change and teamwork matters
