We believe that every candidate brings something special to the table, including you! So, even if you feel that you're close but not an exact match, we encourage you to apply. We'd be thrilled to receive applications from exceptional individuals like yourself.

Overview
As one of the world's leading risk advisors, we help ensure our clients have the right protection in place so when the unexpected happens it is not catastrophic for their business. We think of ourselves as enabling resilience in an uncertain world. We look at the world of risk from different perspectives, working with our clients at each stage of the risk identification, risk mitigation and risk transfer process. We make sure they have the capacity to react to extreme events and respond in a prepared, disciplined, and organized fashion.
Gallagher Research Centre
Gallagher launched the Gallagher Research Centre (GRC) to provide an exciting new collaboration hub for academic, research and other institutions and gives access to independent peer reviewed academic work to support applied innovation across all Gallagher's advisory products.
Through the creation of a broad network of academic partnerships and collaborations, the GRC funds cutting-edge research and innovation in an increasing complex risk landscape to help our clients develop their own view of risk for all types of hazards. As the world gets impacted by increasing systemic shocks ranging from pandemics, Inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and indirect global supply chain disruption, the insurance industry needs to be prepared for increased risk management.
Responsibilities

To help Gallagher Re further grow the GRC, we seek a highly motivated GRCResearch Manager with proven research experience in one or more of the following: Cyber risk / Global pandemic / Political violence / Macroeconomic risk. Reporting into the GRC Research Director and being part of the GRC Management team, this role will focus on both developing and actively managing a range of Gallagher-funded academic research programs with collaborating university partners.
GRC funded projects vary significantly in scope and timescale, from multi-year funded postdoctoral researchers and PhD studentships, to MSc summer thesis projects completed in a matter of 6-12 weeks.
The GRC Research Manager is a key liaison between research and industry, ensuring that research projects run within budget, that deliverable targets are fully met and that programs are ran on time. This requires excellent project management skills and coordination with both internal and external stakeholders. The role is expected to provide guidance on the implementation of the research, to work closely together with Gallagher Analytics teams and to facilitate regular meetings with academics. The GRC Research Manager will also be responsible for profiling the outputs of the research through featured articles on the website and/or via newsletters. This will include close liaison with the Gallagher Re marketing teams.

They should have prior experience in a related discipline, and an understanding of multidisciplinary approaches used in the industry to model the wide societal impacts of Systemic Risks such as Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and/or Environmental.
