Senior Business Development Manager

Corporate Title: Vice President

Division: BHK-CUO L&H Reinsurance (51004033)

Department: BHKL-L&H Solutions (51000060)

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 partners with Swiss Re's insurance clients to strengthen portfolio performance and enable sustainable growth through scalable, technology-enabled offerings. Current solutions include the MagnumXP and PromiseXP suites:

• MagnumXP automates underwriting across both initial assessment and secondary evidence stages.
• PromiseXP streamlines claims intake, triage, and decisioning.

The solutions portfolio continues to expand through close collaboration with customers to address evolving business needs.
