  • Understanding IFRS17 concepts and results at a level sufficient to interpret their relevance for reserving analyses and business discussions
  • Identifying and implementing opportunities to improve reserving processes, reporting, automation, and data-driven analytics
  • Collaborating in a diverse team with various backgrounds and skills aiming to maximize the quality of Corporate Reserving's deliverables and the success of the Munich Re Group
