Protect assets and manage risks in a diverse set of roles

The insurance industry comprises companies and individuals who develop insurance policies; sell, administrate, and regulate them. Insurance is about managing risk, for both the insurance company and its customers. Insurance companies seek out professionals who understand the complexities of risk assessment, possess exceptional analytical capabilities, and exhibit a keen understanding of market trends.

Keegan Adams partners with several Insurance Businesses operating across various sectors, including life insurance, general insurance, agricultural insurance, workers' compensation, and re-insurance.  We offer comprehensive services across a wide range of positions, from leadership roles, mid-level positions and graduate positions on a temporary or permanent basis.
