Together with the Hubs in Munich and London, LH1 MAD forms the Life and Health 1 division of Munich Re, LH1 MAD aims to become an increasingly relevant player in the generation of new business for Munich Re through its initiatives in Southern Europe and Latin America, while maintaining its stable and profitable portfolio in the region.

To achieve its ambition, LH1 MAD has focused its growth strategy on scaling the traditional Protection business in Life and Health, shaping it via Business Transformation (Automated UW, B2B2C Cooperation Models, and Product Development), and expanding its Financial Reinsurance solutions across the region.

About the role

The Senior Risk Manager works closely alongside colleagues in LH1 MAD, the LH1 Risk Management team, and within Munich central functions in strengthening the LH1 Madrid’s Actuarial and Enterprise Risk Management capabilities.

In addition to this, they will support the ongoing production of internal reports required, such as the Annual Risk Report, The Market/Deal Assessment processes and Operational risks analysis.

LH1 MAD has a regional responsibility along the Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Malta) and Latin America, with close contact with the offices of MR in Milán, Malta, Sao Paulo, Bogota and Mexico City. This responsibility encompasses all Life and Health Protection and Financial Reinsurance contracts.
