Client Advocate - Construction
- 202605819
- Los Angeles, California, United States
- United States
Description
The Client Advocate (CA) – NA Construction serves as the primary point of coordination between the Senior Client Advocate (SCA) and the Associate Client Advocate (ACA), translating client strategy into effective day-to-day execution. The CA delivers consultative risk and insurance advisory to construction clients — general contractors, owners/developers, and subcontractors — grounded in deep construction industry and coverage expertise.
On large and complex construction accounts, the CA partners with a Producer and/or Senior Client Advocate, executing the strategy the SCA sets while directing and reviewing the work of the ACA and broader service team. On middle-market or less complex construction accounts where no senior account lead is assigned, the CA independently serves as the primary client relationship lead — owning strategy, service delivery, and outcomes directly.
The CA coordinates and leverages WTW resources — broking, the construction practice group, risk control, and claims advocacy — to deliver seamless service, effective placement strategies, and integrated risk management solutions, while ensuring adherence to all regulatory, compliance, and technical standards.
Leveraging deep construction industry and insurance expertise, the CA develops and advises on coverage strategies, identifies opportunities to enhance client outcomes, and supports growth through proactive relationship management.
Success in this role requires the ability to deliver exceptional client service in a fast-paced environment, exercise sound judgment, and operate with a high degree of autonomy while fostering strong collaboration across internal teams and mentoring junior colleagues.
Note: Employment-based non-immigrant visa sponsorship and/or assistance is not offered for this specific job opportunity.
