Senior Solutions Sales Manager

About Solutions

'Solutions' is a central pillar of the reinsurance strategy, critical both to the development of the core reinsurance activities as well as for developing new revenue streams for Swiss Re.

Solutions are services and platforms delivered to clients that lead to new, more or better business profit generation for Swiss Re that would not happen through our traditional Reinsurance business. Key to the success of this business is our ability to serve existing clients and win new clients with a scope that extends beyond Swiss Re's traditional reinsurance clients to cover the full scope of all insurance companies and non-insurance partners in adjacent sectors where our risk knowledge can add to their success.

Solutions helps Swiss Re's insurance clients to improve their own portfolio and enable growth. Examples of existing solutions include:

• Swiss Re's automated underwriting platform Magnum
• New automated tools and platforms to support the assessment of risks and claims handling
• Strategic portfolio insights based on data analytics
