Munich Re Markets: Valuation & Reporting Actuary (m/f/d)*

The section is responsible for a broad range of tasks around monitoring and reporting of this business, with divisional interfaces to the risk management, the reserving division, controlling, as well as to risk carriers in various countries (e.g. in Switzerland, Malta and China).

Reporting duties are formally recurring, but the content is always different due to a variety of reasons and effects, not just because of the multitude of standards we have to comply with.
