Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Swiss RE Full time

Are you a dedicated and passionate senior Life & Health Underwriter looking for a change? Swiss Re is seeking an ambitious and future-minded colleague to join the South Africa Team in Johannesburg or Cape Town.


About the Role


In addition to some more traditional underwriting (UW) activities, such as UW case management decision making with appropriate risk management controls, client training and auditing, we also need someone who likes to be client facing, helping our clients in both operational and strategic areas.


This opportunity offers great career development opportunities for existing underwriters or (re) insurance professionals who are really looking for a role where they can directly influence the success of Swiss Re and its partners on the African continent.


The role will work together with the dedicated South Africa cross functional teams (Client Markets, Claims, Costing) on product development, on innovative solutions and in helping to establish Swiss Re as the premier underwriting partner to support our clients with their challenges.


About the Team


Swiss Re Africa is a leading reinsurer in the Sub-Saharan Africa market, in both the short-term and long-term insurance industries.

We are a dynamic team with a strong client focus, whilst ensuring an inclusive environment for the Swiss Re Africa employees.


About You

We would like you to have:

  • You are an experienced L&H underwriter with solid skills on financial and medical underwriting and strong local market knowledge
  • You have more than 10 years underwriting experience
  • You must be fluent in English, and Afrikaans will be an added advantage
  • You have experience in L&H product development and/or project management, or have worked in a clientfacing role in another capacity
  • Significant awareness of market and portfolio dynamics, including the ability to anticipate and mitigate potential risks and opportunities
  • Experience with formulating underwriting standards, medical requirements reviews etc
  • You are comfortable with technology and innovation
  • Besides strong technical underwriting knowledge, you should be comfortable talking to senior level clients and ideally have experience of marketing (re)insurance services. #LI-Hybrid
