Reinsurance MGA Business developer

Business Development – Reinsurance (MGA)

We are a growing reinsurance MGA based in Dubai, focused on Property and Energy lines. We are looking for a commercially driven Business Development professional whose core mandate is simple and measurable: bring in quality facultative and treaty business and help assemble additional underwriting capacity to support growth. This is not a marketing or relationship‑maintenance role. It is a front‑line revenue and capacity‑building position, suited to someone who understands how reinsurance actually gets placed, negotiated, and scaled.

• Source and originate facultative and treaty reinsurance accounts in Property and Energy.
• Build and manage a pipeline of cedants, brokers, and producing partners across target regions.

• Support negotiations on terms, limits, structures, and delegated authorities where applicable.
• Help diversify capacity sources to reduce concentration and improve long‑term sustainability.
• Contribute to structuring new products or facilities aligned with market appetite.

• Provide insight into market pricing, appetite shifts, and competitive dynamics in Property and Energy.
• Identify gaps or underserved niches where the MGA can deploy capital effectively.
• Feed real‑time market intelligence back into underwriting and strategic planning.

• Maintain senior‑level relationships with cedants, brokers, and markets.
• Represent the MGA at industry meetings, conferences, and targeted roadshows.

• Demonstrated track record of originating deals and/or building market relationships that convert into revenue.

• Competitive base salary with performance‑linked incentives tied to production and capacity outcomes.
• Extremely flexible working hours.
• Direct exposure to senior decision‑making and the ability to shape the MGA’s growth trajectory.
• A platform with ambition, flexibility, and room to build something meaningful rather than maintain legacy structures.

• Strong commercial instincts with the ability to judge deal quality, not just volume.
• Deep understanding of how reinsurance capacity is sourced, negotiated, and maintained.
• Comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial, fast‑moving MGA environment.
• Self‑starter with minimal need for supervision—this is a role for someone who creates momentum.
• Clear communicator, confident with senior counter parties.
