The Company

Munich Re America Services (MRAS) is a shared service organization that delivers services to all Munich Re US P&C Companies and other group entities.

As a member of Munich Re's US operations, we offer the financial strength and stability that comes with being part of the world's preeminent insurance and reinsurance brand. Our risk experts work together to assemble the right mix of products and services to help our clients stay competitive - from traditional reinsurance coverages, to niche and specialty reinsurance and insurance products.

The Opportunity

Future focused and always one step ahead!

At Munich Re, we utilize extensive risk knowledge to offer expertise, financial strength, and innovative solutions to help our clients meet the difficult challenges they face in today's world. Risk management is our strength. For us, the question is not if we can cover your risks, but how.

Integrated Risk Management (IRM) develops, implements, and maintains the framework for managing risk across Munich Re's US P&C operations. Our mission is to ensure that these risks are well understood and managed effectively through a variety of quantitative and qualitative processes.

Within IRM, our regional Risk Analytics & Strategy team quantifies the risks faced by the US P&C companies using our internal economic capital model and scenario analyses. We provide senior management with an internal view of our companies' risk profile, which is used to support the capital management and corporate risk transfer decisions of our companies.

In addition, our team facilitates the development and maintenance of each company's Risk Strategy, a process that involves quantifying our risk appetite through a series of risk criteria. We regularly report on these criteria and the resulting strategies to senior management, the Board, and regulators. Beyond this, our team provides second line risk opinions to the Board or risk committee on an ad-hoc basis. This often includes the analysis of large deals and the discussion of new or emerging risk topics.

In the ever-evolving landscape of risk management, we're seeking a team member who combines exceptional communication skills with a strong technical foundation and a growth mindset. You will play a crucial role in informing and influencing our key stakeholders by leveraging our risk management framework and wide range of in-house risk models.
