Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States Swiss Re Full time

Do you thrive working with financial concepts in structured solutions that can be targeted to life & health insurance clients? Are you looking for a challenging role offering excellent opportunities to develop both a deep technical knowledge of insurance-focused financial solutions and a very wide range of soft skills (such as client interactions, project management, negotiations, and communication). If so, read on as this role in Life and Health Structured Solutions (LHSS) may be for you

About the Role

The primary responsibility of this role will be to manage the modeling, implementation, and process standards of structured transactions in close collaboration with the Deal Team Leader and other deal team members. You will work within the team to develop innovative reinsurance solutions designed to meet client needs while adhering to Swiss Re's risk appetite.

Additional key responsibilities of the role include:

The reinsurance transactions that LHSS underwrite require input from many teams in Swiss Re and thus proactive communication and a strong team spirit are vital. This role also provides extensive exposure to other functional areas and occasionally to the senior management of Swiss Re.

About You

You excel in a deadline-intensive environment with the ability to balance your strong technical skills with knowing when to step back to view the "big picture". You bring excellent communication skills and a solid capability and willingness to engage with clients, stakeholders, and colleagues.

Additional requirements include:

Ability to quickly grasp technical aspects of Life and Health insurance Ability to interpret actuarial model output with regards to drivers of surplus emerging and other financials of life insurance and annuity portfolios Finance, treasury, risk management, asset-liability management (ALM), or actuarial experience is strongly preferred Quantitative/technical degree is strongly preferred

The successful candidate will work in collaboration across many functional areas. As such, the following will be key:

Ability to build trust with diverse and regionally based colleagues Collaborative approach and strong team spirit Ability to influence others who face competing priorities and require clear a rationale for prioritization Self-starter with a history of initiative and ability to navigate ambiguity, who can also demonstrate the resiliency necessary for a commercial transaction environment

NOTE: This role can be an AVP or a VP role depending on the experience and skill sets of the successful candidate.
