Within Swiss Re you will collaborate with key account managers, client managers, market underwriters and treaty underwriters in a cross-functional team, for a holistic view on our clients and markets, and to deliver the best of Swiss Re to our clients.

This role offers you lots of space to develop own ideas and advance your commercial and portfolio mindset in a hotspot of economic developments in the Middle East and Africa.

We are looking for YOU – a persistent, pragmatic and result focused experienced professional who indulges to work independently and takes responsibility for making decisions at a rapid pace. You are an empathetic team player, and curious to learn and adapt to changing markets. Next to nurturing a commercially successful single risk portfolio, you enjoy leveraging technology and data for better underwriting outcomes. You have analytical and structuring capabilities, as well as a passion to advance the state-of-the art of bulk and treaty-like fac-solutions. You enjoy working in an international environment. Moreover, you have:

  • University degree preferably in engineering or science; or equivalent work experience in a quantitatively oriented profession
  • 5 to 10 years of experience in insurance or reinsurance of commercial and industrial property risks
  • Solid understanding of single risk exposure assessment and underwriting

  • A track record of and continued hunger to learn and adapt to the aspects of a new role and an ever-changing market, data and tech environment.
  • Other professional experience, in particular in treaty underwriting and/or structuring, but also quantitative analytics, nat cat modelling, risk engineering, or claims handling is highly welcome
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, proficient in English, advanced in French; any additional language is an asset.
