About the Role
Swiss Re Institute (SRI) is Swiss Re's dedicated research and thought leadership division, with a mandate to originate actionable insights that support profitable risk-taking for Swiss Re and its clients.

• Apply rigorous quantitative methods, including statistical and econometric analysis, forecasting, scenario analysis and data visualization to develop clear, evidence-based insights
• Lead priority research projects from question formulation and data gathering through analysis, publication and presentation, managing scope, timelines and stakeholder alignment with a high degree of independence
• Translate research findings into business-relevant insights that inform client discussions, underwriting dialogue, business strategy and market positioning through reports, articles, presentations and briefings
• Represent SRI and Swiss Re in select client, broker, industry, regulatory and conference forums, presenting clear perspectives on P&C market issues and their implications for the industry
• Partner closely with P&C Re and CorSo underwriting, client markets, market unit and communications teams to enhance the commercial impact and accessibility of research outputs
• Collaborate across SRI teams including Insurance Market Analysis, the Research Office and the Macro team to ensure integrated and consistent perspectives
• Contribute forecasts and market intelligence to business planning and strategic decision-making across finance, underwriting and risk management
• Use modern research practices including AI-enabled research workflows and content activation approaches, to improve the quality, efficiency and reach of SRI insights

• Strong collaboration and influencing skills with the ability to work effectively across functions, business units, geographies and organizational levels
• Commercial, pragmatic and results-oriented mindset, with the ability to pose insightful questions, structure the research needed to answer them, and translate findings into practical recommendations for client engagement, underwriting dialogue, strategy, and decision support
