As the head of the practice, you will manage a team of subject matter experts, community builders and content creators supporting those clients through advisory conversations, research production, events, and consulting engagements.

They must demonstrate a proven ability to articulate a vision and strategy for growing the insurance portfolio, motivate a team of more than 20 individuals, drive revenue growth, promote operational effectiveness, and keep staff engaged during periods of change. In addition, strong written and oral communication skills, and facilitation skills are required.
