Do you want to work at the intersection of risk financing, product structuring, strategy, business development, and insurance innovation? Join Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' Captive Centre of Excellence (COE) and help shape the future of captive risk transfer, a dynamic and fast-growing segment in the global insurance market.

As an Intern in the Captive Centre of Excellence, you will be embedded in a small, high-impact team at the heart of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) strategy.
