Senior Wording Intelligence Specialist (Hybrid; m/f/x/d; 80-100%)

About the Role

Are you passionate about the intersection of contract wordings, artificial intelligence and technology? Do you want to help shape how AI is used to understand complex insurance and reinsurance contracts at scale?

As Senior Wording Intelligence Specialist, you will play a key role in developing the next generation of Swiss Re's contract and wording intelligence capabilities. You will bring together strong insurance/reinsurance contract wording expertise with a practical understanding of Generative AI, data and technology to ensure that the intelligence we build is contractually sound, scalable and delivers practical value to the business.

You will bring a strong contractual perspective to the development and quality of our wording intelligence, reviewing and challenging AI-enabled solutions before they are introduced to the business. You will also help shape Group-wide wording standards and governed knowledge, enabling better contract review, portfolio insights and risk management across Swiss Re.

This is not a traditional legal role, nor a data science role. You will work hands-on at the intersection of contracts, product, AI and technology, partnering closely with wording experts, Product Owners, Data Scientists, Technology and Business Unit stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Group wording expertise and governance - Act as a key wording expert, taking ownership of selected wording topics and contributing to Group-wide contractual questions, common wording standards and authoritative reference knowledge in collaboration with Business Unit experts.
• Shape AI-enabled wording intelligence - Translate contractual knowledge and business challenges into practical AI-enabled solutions, working with Product, Data Science and Technology teams on clause assessment, deviation analysis, document intelligence and portfolio-level insights to support risk monitoring and steering.
• Challenge and validate intelligence - Review and challenge AI-enabled wording capabilities for contractual accuracy, contextual interpretation and reliability, working with technical teams to establish appropriate quality standards before formal expert validation.
• Drive collaboration and continuous improvement - Collaborate across contract review, search and analytics products, Group-wide initiatives and Business Unit experts to promote consistent application of wording knowledge, reuse of intelligence and continuous improvement.
• Explore emerging opportunities - Identify and help test new applications of AI and analytics for contractual analysis, drawing on emerging Legal AI developments and working with specialist teams to evaluate their practical value.

About the Team

Group Contracts & Wording Services (CWS) develops and operates Swiss Re's Group-wide capabilities for contract review, search, analytics and AI-enabled wording intelligence. We provide common solutions, data foundations and standards to improve wording quality, consistency and risk control across Business Units, while local experts retain ownership of legal judgement and underwriting decisions.

You will collaborate across our Product, Data Science and Technology teams, as well as with underwriting, contract wording and Group governance experts, helping connect contractual expertise with the solutions and standards we develop.

About You

You bring strong insurance or reinsurance contract expertise, sound judgement and a curiosity about how AI can improve the way contractual information is understood and used. You enjoy taking ownership of complex contractual questions, collaborating across disciplines and challenging established approaches. You do not need to be a Data Scientist or software engineer — what matters is your ability to combine contractual expertise with new ideas and technologies.

We are looking for someone who brings:

• 5+ years of experience in insurance or reinsurance contracts and wordings, with strong knowledge of contractual interpretation and associated underwriting or risk implications.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess complex contractual questions, challenge interpretations and develop practical solutions.
• A keen interest in Generative AI, with some practical experience using AI tools and an understanding of their opportunities and limitations in contractual analysis.
• Ability to collaborate and communicate effectively across underwriting, legal, Product, Data Science and Technology teams.
• A university degree or equivalent qualification in law, insurance, business or another relevant discipline.

Additional nice to have

Experience with LegalTech or contract intelligence solutions, AI evaluation, wording standards, data analytics or emerging AI technologies would be an advantage.

For Switzerland, the base salary range for this position is between 128,000 CHF and 192,000 CHF (full time equivalent). The specific salary offered considers:

• the requirements, scope, complexity and responsibilities of the role
• the applicant's own profile including education/qualifications, expertise, specialisation, skills and experience

In addition to your base salary, Swiss Re offers an attractive performance-based variable compensation component, designed to recognise your achievements. Furthermore, you will enjoy a variety of global and location specific benefits. Eligibility may vary depending on the terms of Swiss Re policies and your employment contract.
