Broking Placement Overview
WTW’s Broking teams deliver superior results for our clients’ business and risk management needs through deep industry-specific expertise. The role of a broker is to help our clients mitigate their total cost of risk. The brokerage team operates as the firm’s intellectual capital where we work with our clients to assess, model, and structure risk. Once modeled, the broker personally escorts the clients’ risk into the market and draws upon their market relationships and negotiation skills to secure quotations from the insurance carriers. While the nature of the work is similar day-to-day, no two placements are the same, and common tasks may include: preparing and sending out submissions, liaising with markets, analyzing exposures, working through risk models, and negotiating quotations.
Responsibilities:
Gather information and analytics to assess and evaluate client risks to support the placement of client risks into the market.
Create Loss Summaries, review program binders for accuracy, check policies, and assist brokers & senior brokers.
With the support of more experienced brokers, prepare draft submission documents and finalize submissions for delivery.

With support of more experienced brokers, prepare program proposals.
With support of more experienced brokers, develop client and prospect presentations to secure new, and build on existing, relationships.
