Description

The Role

The Natural Resources Manager is a senior client servicing and account leadership role responsible for directing day-to-day delivery for primarily power and utilities, renewable energy, oil and gas, mining and metals, and related infrastructure sector clients within CRB Philippines and serving as a trusted relationship lead for key servicing, renewal and placement matters.  The role provides leadership across the account lifecycle, shaping servicing strategy, coordinating renewal and placement execution, maintaining contract certainty and documentation quality, and ensuring delivery against service standards/SLAs, governance requirements and client commitments. Working closely with internal specialist teams (Placement, Specialty, Claims, Engineering and Risk & Analytics) and carrier partners, the role helps drive integrated client solutions including alternative risk transfer and structured risk financing options where appropriate while strengthening retention, supporting revenue growth, identifying cross-sell opportunities, and contributing to broader team capability, operational discipline and client leadership standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end servicing and account delivery for assigned corporate clients (new business and renewals), acting as the primary day-to-day contact and accountable owner for routine matters. Oversee data gathering, exposure analysis, market submissions, quotations, credit control monitoring and claims follow-ups, driving delivery to agreed service standards/SLAs, quality targets and client commitments.

• Build and maintain a detailed understanding of each client’s business, risk profile, loss history and insurance requirements; support renewal and placement strategy by coordinating with Specialty, Placement and insurer partners to structure fit‑for‑purpose P&C programs (e.g., Property, BI, Liability, Motor, Marine) and other relevant lines, and clearly communicate options and recommendations to clients.

• Manage Natural Resources accounts in line with WTW’s sector-led structure, supporting clients across power and utilities, renewable energy, oil and gas, mining and metals, and related infrastructure sectors.  Coordinate with regional and global Natural Resources specialists to bring relevant technical expertise, market insight and placement capability into local client delivery.

• Lead the servicing rhythm for Natural Resources clients by aligning account plans, renewal strategies, risk engineering inputs, claims advocacy, analytics and market engagement around the client’s asset lifecycle, including development, construction, operational and transition-related exposures.

• Support Natural Resources placement strategy by working with WTW Specialty, Construction, Power, Renewable Energy, Marine, Casualty, Claims, Engineering, Risk & Analytics and global market teams to develop integrated insurance and risk advisory solutions for complex assets and portfolios.

• Lead account management activities by maintaining account plans and key stakeholder maps, setting the engagement cadence for client touchpoints (stewardship reviews / QBRs / renewal meetings), and driving actions, decisions, risks and opportunities to closure through disciplined follow-through and cross-functional coordination.

• Support innovation in risk financing solutions by helping assess, model and position alternative risk transfer options (e.g., higher retentions / deductible optimization, captive / fronting arrangements, parametric covers, structured programs) in collaboration with Specialty and Placement colleagues and support the preparation of client-ready materials and recommendations aligned to risk appetite and WTW solutions.

• Provide sector-relevant advice to Natural Resources clients on emerging and evolving risk themes, including energy transition, natural catastrophe exposure, supply chain disruption, ESG-related insurer scrutiny, operational resilience, business interruption, political violence, cyber and climate-related risk considerations.

• Proactively manage client expectations by setting timelines, providing strategic progress updates, and leading service recovery and escalations when issues arise; direct internal and market stakeholders to resolve matters efficiently, protect the client relationship, and maintain confidence at senior stakeholder level.

• Partner with Specialty, Claims, Engineering and Risk & Analytics (ER&A) teams to deliver coordinated client solutions (risk engineering insights, analytics, benchmarking and claims advocacy), improving risk outcomes and reinforcing WTW’s integrated value proposition.

• Manage documentation timelines and contract certainty—from bind instructions through issuance of policies, endorsements, binders and certificates—ensuring accuracy, completeness, and on‑time delivery to clients and internal stakeholders.

• Support contract certainty and technical quality by validating coverage terms, limits, deductibles, warranties/conditions and policy wordings against placement instructions; escalate gaps, manage approvals, and ensure compliance with WTW governance, controls, and applicable regulatory requirements.

• Maintain effective working relationships with insurers, adjusters and claims partners; support negotiations and problem resolution (coverage interpretation, documentation discrepancies, claims servicing) to achieve timely, commercially sound outcomes for clients.

• Lead client communications and meetings for assigned accounts, including stewardship, renewal and issue-resolution discussions, providing timely, accurate responses and proactive status updates regarding coverage, placement progress, documentation, premium movements and servicing requirements; ensure minutes, action tracking and follow-through are completed to a high standard.

• Drive servicing‑led growth and retention by managing the renewal timetable, supporting stewardship/QBR and renewal presentations, and tracking opportunities and actions. Identify cross‑sell/upsell needs, collaborate with Sales/Growth colleagues and specialists to strengthen WTW value propositions, and improve win rates for broker and advisory appointments.

• Demonstrate operational excellence by maintaining complete and audit‑ready account files, following agreed processes, keeping accurate records in broking systems, producing required management information (MI), monitoring service KPIs/SLAs, completing quality checks, and proactively managing risks, controls and governance checkpoints.

• Develop working knowledge of WTW Health, Wealth and Career solutions to identify broader client needs; initiate warm referrals, coordinate internal handoffs, and help progress opportunities alongside CRB servicing activities.

• Contribute to projects, process improvements and client initiatives to support team, business and client objectives, including providing guidance to junior colleagues, sharing best practices, and helping uplift team capability and operational discipline.

• Undertake additional account support, projects and responsibilities as assigned to meet business and client objectives.
