About the Team

In 2021 we will bring tech and business together along the Agile principles supported by a new agile digital product organisation called Operations Digital Product Delivery (Ops DPD).

The design is structured around business services from all involved partner organisations clustered in 3 distinct Product Areas:
- The mission of Employee Lifecycle Services is to enable employees to be their best and empower them to grow and deliver business value from first contact to leaving.
- Group Operations Business Services will deliver and manage end-to-end digital solutions for services towards Group Operations business customers and SR Group to build sustainable business platforms, manage (external) spend, ensure compliance and drive business excellence.
- Work Environment and Engagement will provide employees with a safe and supported environment during their working journey, making them feel part of Swiss Re wherever they are working from. Also, the team will enable client facing service excellence, with professional hospitality and an engaging digital experience.

With this set-up, we expect to be able to maximise the autonomy of squads contributing to the mission of the defined product areas and strengthen customer proximity. At the same time, we can ensure the integrity of our technology platforms.

*We carefully consider your professional competencies, qualifications and experience in our compensation package and/or when offering you other positions. Our compensation philosophy is to pay fairly, also considering market situation and the value employees may bring to Swiss Re.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and we value diversity at our company. Our aim is to live visible and invisible diversity – diversity of age, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, physical abilities, personalities and experiences – at all levels and in all functions and regions. We also collaborate in a flexible working environment, providing you with a compelling degree of autonomy to decide how, when and where to carry out your tasks.
