About the Role

Join Swiss Re as a Solution Architect III and take the lead in designing and delivering innovative Workforce Management solutions that make a real difference across the globe. In this role, you'll be at the heart of Swiss Re's HR technology transformation — combining deep technical expertise with strategic solution design to drive scalable, resilient and future‑ready platforms. You'll collaborate with a diverse, talented team and work on challenges that matter, all while contributing to Swiss Re's mission of making the world more resilient.

Key Responsibilities

Design and deliver end-to-end Workforce Management and Time & Attendance solutions across the full solution lifecycle — from requirements gathering and solution design through configuration, development, integration, testing, deployment and production support

Act as the technical subject matter expert for Workforce Software, providing authoritative guidance on solution design, configuration and integration best practices

Collaborate closely with Product Owners, business stakeholders, engineers and external partners to translate complex business requirements into practical, scalable and maintainable technical solutions

Ensure seamless integration of Workforce Management solutions with the broader HR technology landscape, including HR and payroll systems, using APIs, file‑based interfaces, SQL and scripting technologies

Lead technical workstreams, providing solution guidance and driving delivery within Agile, multidisciplinary teams

Support and resolve complex production issues through strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, ensuring platform stability, security and resilience

Manage multi-country implementations, supporting country‑specific Time & Attendance requirements and ensuring compliance with local regulatory standards

Communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical audiences, ensuring clarity and alignment across all stakeholder groups

About the Team

The D&T Group People Function (GPF) team is responsible for Swiss Re's Group People Function technology landscape, enabling HR capabilities across the organisation on a global scale.

Working at the intersection of HR and technology, the team collaborates with business stakeholders, Product Owners and external partners to design, deliver and continuously improve solutions that power Swiss Re's people processes worldwide.

About You

You are a curious, driven and collaborative professional who brings both technical depth and a pragmatic mindset to everything you do. You have a proven ability to work independently while thriving in a team environment, and you're equally comfortable engaging with business stakeholders as you are diving into complex technical challenges. You take ownership of your work, communicate with clarity and confidence, and are passionate about delivering solutions that are not only technically sound but also genuinely useful to the people who rely on them.

We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements:

Extensive hands‑on experience with Workforce Software, particularly Time & Attendance, including implementation, configuration, enhancement and production support in complex, international environments

Strong knowledge of Workforce Management concepts, including timekeeping, attendance, scheduling and integration with HR and payroll systems

Proven experience designing and delivering Workforce Software solutions across the full lifecycle — from requirements analysis and solution design through development, testing, deployment and ongoing support

Solid experience with integration technologies, including APIs, file‑based interfaces, SQL and scripting or development tools, with strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving capabilities

Experience leading global or multi‑country implementations, supporting country‑specific Time & Attendance requirements and navigating diverse regulatory environments

These are additional nice to haves:

Workforce Software certifications such as PT102, PT001, PT002, PT003, PT105, PT106, or equivalent Time & Attendance / Workforce Management certifications

Experience working within Agile delivery frameworks and multidisciplinary teams

Familiarity with Swiss Re's architecture, security and governance standards or similar enterprise‑level frameworks

Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non‑technical audiences

Experience working in the financial services or reinsurance industry

Our company has a hybrid work model where the expectation is that you will be in the office at least three days per week.
