Team Leader

About Placement Support Team: 
Placement Support is a team of 40+ colleagues based in our Mumbai (Vikhroli) office. The team plays a critical role in supporting placement activities for the North America Brokers, primarily focusing on making the broking process more efficient and client-ready.
The team's core responsibility is to upload quotes on the Broking platform, enabling brokers to generate proposal forms and create comprehensive presentations for clients based on available quotes. This ensures that brokers have accurate and structured data to present competitive options to clients.
In addition to quote uploads, the team also performs data validation and compliance checks, ensuring accuracy and adherence to regulatory standards. These activities support both pre-placement and placement stages, contributing to a seamless and compliant placement process.
