What you will do
- Analyse regional insurance markets: key industries, the needs of businesses and private clients, the presence of insurance companies.
- Find and attract partners in the regions and build long-term cooperation with them.
- Work with corporate clients: identify needs for property, liability, cargo, employee health insurance and other lines, and prepare quote requests.
- Work with the regional branches of insurance companies.
- Help promote Polis Re services: calculators, online travel insurance and the insurance company catalogue.
- Prepare performance reports and proposals for developing new lines of business.
What we expect from candidates
- Higher education in economics, finance or law.
- At least one year of experience in insurance: at an insurance company, an insurance intermediary or in corporate insurance.
- Knowledge of the basics of Russian insurance law: the Civil Code (Chapter 48), the Law "On the Organisation of Insurance Business in the Russian Federation" and the laws on compulsory insurance.
- English sufficient to read professional documents and handle business correspondence.
- Negotiation skills, independence and readiness to travel on business.
Nice to have
- Experience with corporate risks: property, construction and erection risks, liability, cargo.
- An understanding of reinsurance and the placement of large risks.

About Polis Re
Polis Re is an insurance centre and insurance marketplace. The website brings together a catalogue of insurance types for individuals and businesses, a catalogue of Russian insurance companies, calculators, online travel insurance through our partner, the Cherehapa service, and a reinsurance practice. The regional development manager works with all these tools and helps clients in the regions use them as conveniently as in Moscow.
The candidate we are looking for
We need someone who can speak the same language as business owners and CFOs: explain why a business needs insurance, how insurers' offers differ and why the cheapest is not always the best value. We value honesty with clients: an insurance product should solve the client's problem, not just be sold.
Another important quality is a systematic approach. Regional development is long-term work: market research, first contacts, negotiations, first contracts, supporting the client when an insured event occurs. The candidate must be able to plan their work, keep track of contacts and see things through.
What you will get
- work with a wide range of insurance companies and lines — from mass products to complex corporate risks;
- the opportunity to shape the development of the business in your region;
- professional growth in insurance and reinsurance.
We also consider candidates without experience
We need professionals in insurance and finance, marketing, promotion and sales of insurance products. But we are also ready to consider candidates without such experience if they want to grow professionally, learn quickly and are ready to join the team. You can start learning about insurance right now in the Insurance in detail section and the glossary.
