English term or phrase: Head of global underwriting
Bonjour,

J'ai peu de contexte, mon document ne parle nulle part d'underwriting (mais dans le contexte des assurances je suppose qu'il s'agit de "souscription"), sauf dans une liste finale de membres du personnel où apparait ce texte:

"Head of global underwriting"

Directeur souscription globale ? mondiale ? Y a-t-il un terme consacré ?
Merci pour vos avis éclairé !

Explanation:
Il me semble que dans le monde de l'assurance, "underwriting" signifie davantage "assurer (couvrir les risques)" que "souscrire une assurance". Voir la page wikipedia pour "underwriting" :

Underwriting refers to the process that a large financial service provider (bank, insurer, investment house) uses to assess the eligibility of a customer to receive their products...

A la page ci-dessous, les traducteurs traduisent "insurance underwiters" simplement par "assureurs". C'est pourquoi, personnellement je traduirais "underwriting" par couverture du risque, ou plus simplement "assurance".
