Job description

A leading global insurance organisation has an excellent reputation and offers a friendly, team-oriented, and inclusive environment with an excellent benefits package.

They recognise the need to continuously adapt and evaluate to remain relevant and push boundaries and are therefore looking to recruit a highly self-motivated individual to join their newly established innovation team, which covers the life and health insurance markets for Europe and Latin America.

The successful individual will join a regional hybrid team, so they will need to be an effective collaborator and communicator. They will support the team throughout the new proposition journey from initial market analysis to identifying opportunities, conducting customer research, testing, and finally a full market launch.

Experience in primary insurance and/or reinsurance combined with knowledge of technology trends and their impact on consumers and society in general, as well as Life & Health insurance experience, would be highly beneficial.

Duties

1. Develop the innovation framework by building external and internal networks, running workshops, finding partners, etc., with the aim of identifying business opportunities that fit within the innovation strategy.
2. Research, analyse, interpret, and present findings on identified innovation topics.
