Insurance and Risk Management Consultant

Do you want to set the direction for insurance and risk management in a large municipal organization?

Do you have solid insurance expertise, strong analytical skills, and a keen eye for both claims, risks and prevention? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you.

Ikast-Brande Municipality is seeking an Insurance and Risk Management Consultant , who will be responsible for the municipality's insurance area and play a central role in developing the municipality's risk management. The position is placed in the Finance department as part of the Consulting and Analysis team.

A broad and complex insurance area

The municipality's insurance program includes, among other things, buildings and contents, contracts, motor liability, work-related injuries, business and product liability, special liability, travel, crime, and collective accident insurance.

As the municipality self-insures for work-related injuries, handling these will naturally be a large part of the tasks.

The municipality is also self-insured for casco (comprehensive) damage to cars and voluntary initiatives.

You will become the municipality's central professional resource and ensure that the insurance program continually meets the organization's needs and risk picture.

From claims handling to risk management

You will have a versatile daily routine with both concrete claims and risk management. Your tasks include, among other things:

• Administration and development of the municipality's insurance portfolio
• Handling of claims – including work-related injuries and liability claims – as well as advising on insurance and compensation matters
• Dialog and negotiations with insurance companies, brokers and other partners
• Assessment and advice on insurance needs and risks, e.g., in construction projects and new activities
• Analysis of claims and risks and development of preventive actions and a basis for decision-making
• We expect you to look beyond the individual claim: What can we learn, and how can we prevent it from happening again.

Who are you?

We imagine that you have a relevant insurance-related or legal education and several years of experience from e.g. an insurance company, insurance broker, municipality or another larger organization.

It is an advantage if you have experience with claims handling, work-related injuries and self-insurance, risk management, tort law as well as dialogue with insurance companies and brokers.

As a person you are independent, structured, analytical and relationship-oriented . You communicate complex issues clearly, build trust and find solutions that work in practice. You have professional depth, but you meet the organization in an open and approachable manner.

A role with the opportunity to make your mark

You will become part of a professional community in the Finance department and will have a broad collaborative interface across the municipality. We want to strengthen proactive and preventive risk management , and you will have the opportunity to develop the area and create coherence between insurance, prevention and operations.

We offer

An independent specialist position with broad professional breadth, wide contact network, an opportunity to develop risk management, flexible working conditions and the possibility of home office by agreement. Salary and terms of employment according to the applicable collective agreement and the principles of local pay formation.

Application deadline: 22 October 2026
