- Support the development and articulation of Swiss Re's captive value proposition, contributing to the creation of marketing materials and conference content that position Swiss Re as a partner for captive risk transfer.
- Engage proactively with internal teams across ART, Underwriting, Legacy Solutions, Client & Distribution Management (CDM), and Swiss Re Institute to gather input, align on messaging, and support a "One Swiss Re" approach.
- Help build and maintain the captive pipeline dashboard, tracking business development activities and opportunities to support strategic decision-making and reporting.
Requirements

- Strong analytical and research skills, with the ability to independently gather, synthesize, and present complex market or product information in a clear and structured manner.

- Proven ability to work across multiple stakeholders, including the confidence to proactively reach out to and collaborate with colleagues across different teams, functions, and seniority levels.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to craft clear, professional, and compelling content for diverse audiences.
- Prior internship or academic exposure to (re)insurance, financial services, risk management, or a related industry (nice to have).
