If you are passionate about solvency analytics, thrive in a data driven environment, and want to make a real impact on how a leading global reinsurer manages risk and capital-this is the opportunity for you. As our Senior Risk Analyst, you will develop strong expertise in risk analytics and gain in-depth insight into Swiss Re's business and risk management solvency framework.

About the Role:

This is an exciting opportunity to grow deep expertise in solvency and risk reporting while building valuable technical, analytical, and stakeholder management skills. You will gain meaningful exposure to how risks are selected and monitored, and how senior management incorporates risk-adjusted performance considerations into strategic and business decisions. Working at the heart of Swiss Re's solvency reporting function, you will contribute to high-impact deliverables that directly shape capital management and regulatory compliance across the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and apply a thorough understanding of Swiss Re's Internal Capital Model and Solvency II regulations to support robust reporting and analysis
• Support initiatives and projects aimed at continuously enhancing the risk and solvency reporting framework, driving improvements in efficiency and accuracy
• Analyze and clearly summarize key events and drivers impacting Swiss Re's risk profile, translating complex quantitative results into actionable insights for senior stakeholders
• Support legal entities with ad hoc analytical requests related to changes in risk profiles and risk transfer strategy, providing timely and well-reasoned outputs
• Enhance the operational and governance framework by ensuring robust documentation, structured review processes, and appropriate governance oversight are consistently maintained

The team manages quarterly SST and Solvency II reporting and delivers key risk and capital insights to senior management. Core activities include calculating critical risk metrics, analyzing solvency movements, and producing internal risk and solvency reporting for major operating entities. Beyond regulatory reporting, the team is actively engaged in a wide range of analytical initiatives and strategic requests that
directly inform capital management and high-level business decisions — making it a highly visible and impactful team within the organization.

 

About You:

 

We are looking for a curious, detail-oriented, and collaborative professional who brings strong quantitative skills and a genuine interest in solvency and risk frameworks. You are someone who takes ownership of your work, communicates clearly with stakeholders at all levels, and thrives in a structured reporting environment. You bring both technical rigor and a collaborative mindset, and you are motivated to continuously grow your expertise in risk analytics and capital management.

Knowledge of, or strong interest in solvency, capital, and risk frameworks (e.g., SST, Solvency II, or internal capital models), with motivation to deepen this expertise on the job

These are additional nice to have:
