The Non-Life insurance sector has always been shaped by risk — but today, the stakes are higher than ever. Boards and executive teams are under relentless pressure from regulators, investors, and customers to demonstrate resilience in the face of:
- Solvency requirements that demand robust capital management
- Climate risk exposures that are evolving faster than traditional models can keep up
- Actuarial controls that must withstand regulatory and audit scrutiny
- Capital adequacy expectations that leave no margin for error
In this environment, the cost of a mis-hire in risk, compliance, or actuarial leadership is more than just wasted recruitment fees. It can mean regulatory sanction, reputational damage, or even strategic failure.
The “Hard-to-Fill” Problem
While many insurers have invested in internal recruitment capabilities, there are areas where in-house teams simply don’t have the specialist networks to deliver. Roles such as:
- Chief Risk Officers (CROs)
- Heads of Risk
- Compliance Officers
- Reserving Actuaries
require not only technical expertise but also a nuanced understanding of the market, its regulatory environment, and the unique challenges faced by Non-Life carriers. Finding professionals who combine these attributes with the right cultural fit is a challenge very few organisations can solve alone.
How Campbell Rochford Adds Value
At Campbell Rochford, we’ve spent decades building relationships across the Non-Life insurance sector. That depth of focus allows us to reach candidates who aren’t visible to the open market and who would never surface through traditional recruitment channels.
We’ve successfully positioned ourselves in this niche because we understand two things better than anyone else:
- The technical complexity of these roles.
- The real-world impact of getting them wrong.
That combination has made us the trusted partner for insurers who cannot afford to compromise when hiring into risk, actuarial, or compliance functions.
The Bottom Line
In a sector where solvency and risk are under a magnifying glass, your leadership bench in these critical areas is not a place to gamble. The penalty for mis-hiring is severe — but the upside of getting it right is transformative.
If you’re grappling with a hard-to-fill role in risk, compliance, or actuarial leadership, let’s talk. At Campbell Rochford, we connect Non-Life insurers with the rare talent they need to thrive.
