My role as a Graduate Broker involves four main rotations across the Global Specialities part of Guy Carpenter, allowing me to gain exposure to the various business units such as Marine and Aviation. In addition, I will complete other smaller rotations over the two year training scheme in other aspects of the business such as claims and analytics.
