About the role

We are looking for a Regional Risk Manager, APA to take ownership of key insurance and risk management processes across Asia Pacific.

This is a newly created regional role designed to bring risk management and insurance expertise closer to the business, strengthen ownership and consistency of insurance processes across our frontline organization, and create stronger connections between regional operations and our global Risk Management organization.

You will act as a trusted business partner, helping teams assess risks and articulate risk appetite and navigate insurance, risk transfer, contractual and physical risks while turning global frameworks into practical solutions that work for the region. The role combines regional support, hands-on problem solving, stakeholder partnership and risk and insurance expertise, with the opportunity to help shape how the position evolves over time.

What We offer

This is an exciting career opportunity to work in a truly international company that makes global trade happen. You will be interacting daily with passionate colleagues around the world, giving you the opportunity to develop your professional skills in a global environment. Through the training and support we provide and learning on the job, you will have the chance to truly take your career all the way.

• Shape a newly created regional role with the opportunity to influence how insurance and risk processes are embedded across Asia Pacific.
• Partner directly with the business, helping regional teams find practical solutions around risk transfer, insurance and contractual risk rather than operating solely within a central function.
• Work across a broad stakeholder network, partnering with Global Risk Management, Finance, Procurement, Legal, HSE/HSSEQ, regional leadership and operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead regional insurance activities across Asia Pacific, including insurance placement, claims support, insurance finance matters and loss prevention.
• Manage regional and local insurance programs, coordinating risk assessments, exposure and insurance information, valuations, local policies, premium allocation, invoicing and claims documentation.
• Partner with business and functional stakeholders to translate Maersk’s insurance framework into practical, responsive solutions that support regional operations.
• Manage key external relationships with insurance companies, brokers, surveyors, loss adjusters, claims service providers and external legal counsel.
• Advise on insurance requirements and contractual risk, including liability provisions in leases and customer contracts, vendor insurance requirements and certificates.
• Establish clear governance and accountability for insurance activities, documentation, compliance monitoring, escalation mechanisms and approval of non-standard insurance arrangements.
• Drive consistency and continuous improvement across regional insurance processes, supporting effective controls, complete documentation and strong service to the business.

Who we are looking for

We recognize that experience comes in many forms. If you don’t meet every qualification, we still encourage you to apply.

• 8+ years of experience in insurance, underwriting, brokerage, risk management or related fields.
• Experience in marine, aviation, shipping, logistics or transportation insurance is highly desirable.
• Strong technical expertise in insurance programmes, coverage, policy interpretation and renewals.
• Proven business partnering capabilities, with the ability to advise and influence senior leadership and operational stakeholders.
• Strong commercial acumen and analytical skills, translating complex risks into practical business solutions.
• Ability to independently drive initiatives and influence outcomes across international and cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Proactive, collaborative and solutions-oriented, with strong stakeholder management skills.
• Experience reviewing contractual insurance and liability provisions; legal knowledge is an advantage.
• Mandarin proficiency is advantageous given regular engagement with the Chinese market.
