• Supporting the preparation and delivery of client seminars and technical workshops.
• Contributing to client strategy definition, commercial planning and internal client team coordination.
• Serving as an active interface with Commercial Management and other technical departments (e.g. treaty underwriting and Engineering teams based in Munich).
