• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex topics clearly to non-technical audiences and translate business needs into precise specifications.

These are additional nice to haves:

• Experience supporting AI-driven decision support or monitoring solutions, including familiarity with AI/GenAI concepts and prompt engineering.
• Exposure to in-force management, portfolio analytics, or underwriting workflows within a reinsurance or insurance context.
• Familiarity with model governance, explainability, or regulatory expectations in a data or AI context.
• Experience working in large, global enterprise environments with cross-functional, distributed teams.
