Project & Transformation Manager (Temporary - until December 2027) (Hybrid; m/f/x/d; 80-100%)

Join us in driving meaningful transformation initiatives at iptiQ. We're seeking a Project & Transformation Manager to help steer our organization through strategic changes. 

 

About the Role 

We are looking for a Project & Transformation Manager to join our Transformation team on a temporary contract until December 2027. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role at the center of a complex business transition. 

You will drive and coordinate critical transformation initiatives as iptiQ EMEA Life & Health transitions toward a lean, closed-book operating model. This means we are stopping new business in due time and focusing on managing existing insurance portfolios. In parallel, we are exploring M&A options. 

As we navigate this phase, we act as responsible stewards for our customers, our partners, our people, and Swiss Re—ensuring stability today while protecting long-term value. In this role, you will help translate that ambition into execution. 

The role offers direct exposure to the Leadership Team and requires a structured, hands-on project manager who can navigate complexity, drive execution, and bring clarity to ambiguity. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of strategic transformation initiatives, including partner offboarding and transaction support 

  • Drive project planning, execution, and governance, ensuring delivery on time, in scope, and with clear accountability 

  • Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders across multiple markets and workstreams 

  • Manage partner offboarding activities, ensuring operational readiness, customer continuity, and regulatory compliance 

  • Support M&A-related activities (e.g., data preparation, due diligence coordination, execution project management) 

  • Establish transparent reporting for senior leadership, including risks, dependencies, and decision points 

  • Conduct data-driven analysis to support decision-making and identify value protection opportunities 

  • Prepare high-quality executive materials for Leadership Team and board-level discussions 

  • Act as a thought partner to senior leadership, challenging constructively and driving pragmatic solutions 

 

About the Team 

The Transformation team is a high-performing unit at the core of strategy execution. We operate across functions and markets, translating strategy into tangible outcomes. 

We act as orchestrators of complex change, combining strong governance, hands-on delivery, and close stakeholder alignment to drive results in a fast-evolving environment. 

 

About You 

You are a structured, driven project manager who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments. You bring clarity where others see ambiguity and are comfortable operating with senior stakeholders. 

 

We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements: 

  • 3+ years in insurance, financial services, or management consulting 

  • Proven track record in managing complex transformation or change initiatives 

  • Strong project management toolkit (planning, risk management, stakeholder coordination, reporting) 

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication, including senior leadership exposure 

  • Ability to simplify complexity and drive clear, actionable outcomes 

  • Strong analytical mindset with experience in data-driven decision support 

  • High-quality PowerPoint and Excel skills; familiarity with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) 

 

These are additional nice to haves: 

  • Exposure to run-off environments, restructuring, or large-scale transformations 

  • Basic understanding of M&A / portfolio transactions / due diligence processes

 

Why Join Us? 

Swiss Re has announced its strategic intention to withdraw from the iptiQ business over time, and as part of this journey, we are leading a number of key transformation initiatives and projects to ensure a smooth and well-managed evolution of our business.  

At iptiQ, you will be part of a small, high-performing team driving transformation across the organization. You'll gain unique exposure to senior leaders and strategic decision-making at Swiss Re, while working in a dynamic, international environment. 

 

For Switzerland, the base salary range is between CHF 98.000 and CHF 146.000 and for a more senior profile between CHF 128.000 and CHF 192.000 for a full-time role.

The specific salary offered considers:

• the requirements, scope, complexity and responsibilities of the role

• the applicant's own profile including education/qualifications, expertise, specialisation, skills and experience

In the situation where you do not meet all the requirements or you significantly exceed these, the offered salary may be below or above the advertised range.

 

Our company has a hybrid work model where the expectation is that you will be in the office at least three days per week.
