Job Purpose / Brief of Job Role

Serve as a technical expert supporting our underwriting teams and clients on risk assessment, incident response and other advisory services with the aim of enhancing the quality, resilience and scalability of our cyber business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct cyber risk assessments of individual commercial risks and translate technical findings into actionable underwriting recommendations.
  • Identify, evaluate and benchmark the effectiveness of security controls against evolving threats, attack vectors and mitigation strategies.
  • Continuously enhance our cyber risk assessment methodologies, frameworks and questionnaires.
  • Provide analytical support on cyber coverage language and its alignment with current threat trends, loss scenarios and portfolio exposures.
  • Deliver cyber security guidance, training and strategic advice to both internal stakeholders and external clients.
  • Support incident response and claims teams with technical expertise, including incident analysis, post-incident reviews and the assessment of incident response service providers.
  • Represent Munich Re at industry events and conferences; conduct trend scouting and publish topic papers on emerging threats and technologies.

  • Ability to contextualise cyber threats by region and industry, factoring in geopolitical risk, regional regulation and local IT maturity.

  • Self-directed and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Strong team player who can explain complex technical topics clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • Excellent spoken and written business English; additional language skills such as Arabic, Bahasa or Thai would be beneficial.
