About the Role

This role offers a genuine opportunity to influence Swiss Re's US Property & Casualty business at a senior level. As Finance Manager US Globals, you will serve as a trusted finance partner to US Market Unit leadership - providing the insight, challenge, and strategic guidance that drives both day-to-day decisions and longer-term business objectives.

This role offers exceptional exposure to senior market leadership and provides a strong platform for broader Finance and business leadership opportunities across Swiss Re.

About the Team

The FP&A team sits at the heart of Swiss Re's P&C business, playing a pivotal role in driving financial performance and enabling strategic decision-making at the highest levels of the organization. We partner closely with US Market Unit heads and senior stakeholders, delivering transparency, accountability, and insight across performance, planning, and key business decisions.

We are a globally connected team that thrives on collaboration across regions, and we benefit from dedicated analytical support from our Bangalore hub. Our culture is defined by intellectual curiosity, high standards, and a genuine willingness to challenge constructively - because we believe that's how Finance creates real value.

We are committed to continuous improvement, both in how we work and in how we support the business. Joining this team means becoming part of a diverse, driven group of professionals who are passionate about delivering impact, growing their expertise, and actively shaping the future of the US P&C business at Swiss Re.

About You

You are a commercially minded finance professional who combines strong technical capability with the confidence to engage and influence at a senior level. You bring clarity to complexity, hold yourself to high standards, and are motivated by the impact your work has on real business outcomes.

We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements:

• University degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline
• Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Significant hands-on experience in FP&A or a closely related finance role, with a strong track record of leading planning cycles, projections, and performance reporting
• Financial Modelling & Performance Reporting: Demonstrated ability to build, manage, and communicate financial models and reporting frameworks that drive decision-making at a senior level
• P&C Reinsurance / Insurance Business Knowledge: A solid understanding of the US Property & Casualty reinsurance or insurance business, including its key performance drivers, metrics, and commercial dynamics

• Commercial Judgement: Strong analytical capability paired with sound commercial instinct - the ability to move beyond the numbers and connect financial insight to business strategy
• Communication & Synthesis: Proven ability to distil complex financial information into clear, concise, and compelling narratives tailored to senior stakeholders
• Prioritization & Delivery: Demonstrated ability to manage multiple competing priorities and consistently deliver high-quality outputs in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Adaptable Collaboration Style: Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively, knowing when to drive forward autonomously and when to bring others along - across functions, geographies, and seniority levels
