Want to join a leading global salmon producer and contribute to the transition towards healthier and more climate-friendly food?

Cermaq is optimizing its business through risk management and operational efficiency, and we are now searching for our new Group Insurance Officer!

The new colleague that we are looking for has higher education within Economics, or Business administration. A few years of experience in insurance and credit risk management is ideal, but interest in the field is the most important. We also hope that you are motivated by working both independently and in collaboration with others. This role is primarily based in Oslo.

What’s the job all about?

Insurance Program Administration:

• As our Group Insurance Officer you manage the company's global insurance programs, including liaising with our insurance broker in Norway and Mitsubishi’s insurance agent in Japan.
• Through gathering, structuring, and analyzing data you present and place global insurance coverages and actively participate in negotiating insurance policies. Your experience, Excel skills and basic accounting principles will help you excel in these tasks.

Insurance Operations:

• As our Group Insurance Officer, you oversee administrative tasks such as insurance premium payments, insurance settlements, and monthly reporting of insurance-related matters.
• You provide support to our Operational Companies in managing customer credit limits, including applying for uninsured limits where needed.
• You handle credit insurance programs, including assisting Operational Companies with credit limit applications, claims, and reporting on unsecured receivables.
• You help to implement and maintain Cermaq’s Credit Risk Management Policy & Implementation Guidelines and ensure that internal controls are maintained.

Claims Management & Expert Advice:

• You handle open claims, ensuring timely and efficient processing and regular reporting to management.
• You provide expert advice and support to Cermaq’s Operational Companies across multiple regions, including assistance with complex claim cases.

The team & everyday work:

You will be a part of the Treasury & Insurance Department, consisting of 3 colleagues. Head of Finance, Silvia Segnini will be your direct leader.

As we operate on an international level and are lucky enough to collaborate with people from different parts of the world, you are fluent in written and spoken English. You are also fluent in Norwegian, and if you speak Spanish, that’s a plus. You will mainly work at our office in Bjørvika, Oslo.  Some travelling may occur to our operative companies,  although we aim to use Teams as often as possible.

A short intro of the organization:

Cermaq is divided into Group and the Operating Companies which are in Chile, Canada, and Norway. Cermaq Group consists of 42 employees in Oslo and Bergen working with functions like Finance, HR, Business Development, Communication, Sustainability, Global IT, Legal, Fish Health, Innovation and Operational Development.

A short introduction is a good starting point, but above all, we want to know what you have learned and experienced from what you mention in your CV, or perhaps other aspects of life.

• Briefly describe an insurance-related-process that you have contributed to and what was your role and tasks related to it.

• Briefly give an example of a time you have been “service minded and ahead of customer’s needs".
