• Supporting the Director of Operations in ensuring and demonstrating LH&T’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and other Verisk policies.
• To support the Client Services (CS) team with client contract negotiations, providing guidance and input based on feedback from Verisk shared service teams such as Legal and Compliance as required.
• Documenting the outcomes of client contract negotiations to identify common themes/trends and updating the LH&T contract templates to reflect these as well as market expectations and changes in the legal and/or regulatory landscape.
• Working with Verisk’s procurement team to complete due diligence, negotiate contracts and onboard new vendors.
• Identifying operational inefficiencies and implementing process improvements initiatives, including the analysis of results from client feedback surveys.
• Providing insight to the senior leadership team with monthly operational and CS metrics.
