Director - Risk Management

At Seyna, our mission is simple: to empower insurance professionals to protect those who think big.

Join our mission! 🚀

Seyna is an insurer that brings unparalleled efficiency to brokers. Thanks to its technology and the responsiveness of its teams, Seyna supports brokers at every stage of their development: creation of customized insurance products, sales and management tools, analysis and improvement of insurance products, compliance.

Since its launch in 2019, when Seyna obtained its ACPR insurer license, Seyna has convinced over 100 brokers, including SPVIE, Verspieren, WTW, Garantme, APRIL, Marsh, and Dalma. They use Seyna to protect nearly two million insured individuals in 6 European countries. Thanks to an investment of 57 million euros from GFC, WhiteStar Capital, Elaia, and 115K (La Banque Postale), Seyna has global ambitions to improve the insurance sector by modernizing the design and management of insurance programs.

YOUR FUTURE TEAM:

The Risk Management department ensures that Seyna takes the right level of risk to achieve its objectives, while protecting its treasury, assets, and reputation. It identifies, assesses, and disseminates a common risk culture among all Seynators.

As Director, you will oversee the entire system – from regulatory compliance (Solvency II, ACPR) to risk governance – in a context where the subject is particularly monitored by the board and the regulator.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Risk Control System: Ensure its proper functioning and produce regular and understandable reporting to governance bodies (Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Board of Directors).

• Risk Management Policy: Update the policy, risk mapping, and assess the impact of the Risk Management Department (DMR) and its correct application.

• Key Risk & Internal Control Function: Ensure the key risk function, manage internal control with the support of a colleague, communicate monthly results, and produce the internal control report.

• Solvency II & ORSA: Be responsible for the production of Solvency II reports (QRT), the calculation of the solvency ratio, and the production/updating of the ORSA.

• ACPR Relationship: Be responsible for the relationship with the ACPR and ensure that commitments made are met.

• Committee Governance: Chair the Qualification Board and the Risk Committee, and participate in broker monitoring committees with the Client Performance Director.

• Risk Culture: Support the Revenue and Client Performance teams on risk appetite, and disseminate a risk culture throughout the company without slowing down the business!

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF:

• You know how to design and execute risk management systems that balance growth and risk control.

• You are proficient in Solvency II regulations and ACPR reporting – a real asset given the intensity of our current relationship with the regulator (ongoing inspection, action plan).

• You have solid actuarial skills and can challenge provisioning, pricing, and FP&A studies.

• You are proficient in internal control tools and methodologies (levels 1 and 2).

• You know how to communicate risk issues to various stakeholders – CEO, board, regulator – adapting your message to each.

• You have strong transversal leadership, capable of engaging the entire company without it being perceived as an imposed constraint.

• You have a business partner mindset, solution-oriented, that avoids excessive risk aversion.

✨ Bonus if you are familiar with customer acquisition dynamics and business indicators, to effectively engage with sales teams.
