Technical Business Analyst

About the role

Are you curious to understand how technology can support the core business at one of the world’s leading reinsurers?

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our SPIRE IT team which is responsible for ensuring that our in-house application for reserving analysis and estimation (SPIRE) is effectively supporting our global actuarial community in their quarterly closing routine. This system is at the heart of Swiss Re’s P&C and CorSo business and key contributor to our quarterly financial disclosures. In other words, this is a very critical system for Swiss Re. 

You will play a key part in supporting quarterly actuarial reserving processes on our newly developed cloud-based platform. Beyond the regular cycles, you’ll help drive system improvements in close collaboration with User, Application and Data Engineers, shaping how our reserving actuaries work with the system on a daily basis.

This is an opportunity to grow into an end-to-end business and system expert, balancing operational excellence with forward-looking enhancements that directly impact Swiss Re’s ability to assess and manage risk.

Your key responsibilities

• Support reserving processes: Prepare the system for quarterly runs, perform reconciliations, and ensure accurate reporting.
• Own quality and clarity: Maintain up-to-date documentation and deliver ad-hoc analysis when needed.
• Engage with users worldwide: Act as a trusted partner for our international actuarial community.
• Lead small enhancements / new features: From requirement gathering and user story writing to working with developers and testing features (including supporting user testing).
• Collaborate across IT and business: Work closely with engineers to identify improvements that make the system more robust, scalable, and user-friendly.
