Reinsurance is an industry that provides insurance to insurance companies, helping to alleviate the risk of offering insurance. A reinsurance analyst acts as a bridge between primary insurance agencies and reinsurance companies. In this job, your responsibilities are to analyze insurance accounts, review insurance plans, and manage accounts for the reinsurance firms. Reinsurance firms help to alleviate the risk for insurance companies by spreading out the responsibilities of paying insurance claims. Your duties are to review insurance plans, identify issues with potential policies, and recommend whether or not the reinsurance firm should take the claim. If a reinsurance company takes an insurance claim, the reinsurance analyst may also prepare the claim documents and develop the account.
