  • Advanced use of CRM and digital tools, with a data-driven mindset and comfort with dashboards and analytical insights.
  • Mandatory fluency in French and English (spoken and written); an additional European language is a plus.

Who You Are

  • strategic and analytical thinker with a strong business and P&L mindset.
  • Naturally customer- and partner-oriented, able to build trust-based relationships at senior and C‑level.
  • Autonomous, structured, and proactive, capable of owning topics from strategy to execution.
  • Motivated by performance, impact, and measurable results, with a focus on long-term value creation.

  • Automate repetitive or low-value tasks (data consolidation, note-taking, document drafting).
  • Enrich analysis and decision-making (portfolio insights, scenario modelling, opportunity sizing).

You don’t need to be a technical expert — what matters most is your adaptability, curiosity, and eagerness to learn. We will support your upskilling on AI tools so you can focus your time on high-impact strategic and relational work and help build the transparent, high-impact insurance of tomorrow.
