• Own and oversee all local reporting activities for Luxembourg entities and their branches, including Lux GAAP statutory reporting, Solvency II and Solvency UK reporting — ensuring timely, accurate, and fully compliant submissions. Ensure high-quality and concise internal management reporting to the SRE/SRI Board of Directors, Management Committee, the General Manager Committee, and other committees and meetings as appropriate.
• Drive the strategic reporting and analytics agenda for SRE/SRI, aligning team priorities with GFO&T transformation goals and Swiss Re's broader finance strategy
• Champion data-driven insights by overseeing the analysis of financial and operational data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities — translating complex datasets into clear, actionable narratives for senior leadership and regulatory decision-making
• Lead the development and rollout of the Legal Entity Dashboard, steering design, testing, go-live, and continuous improvement phases while driving adoption across stakeholder groups
• Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities across carrier finance and reporting workflows, building more efficient, standardised, and scalable solutions for local "last-mile reporting".
• Represent the team in senior management forums, regulatory interactions, and cross-functional governance bodies, preparing and presenting high-quality reporting packs and strategic materials
• Strengthen regulatory reporting governance by setting and maintaining robust controls, documentation standards, and data quality frameworks
• Support and lead regional and global Carrier Management activities, including facilitation of senior meetings, delivery of knowledge-sharing sessions, and coordination of training programmes
• Contribute to GFO&T strategic initiatives, providing leadership on quantitative and qualitative analysis, implementation activities, and milestone tracking
