This means we’re backed by Swiss Re’s capital strength and more than 150 years of risk knowledge. Through our partnerships, we contribute to Swiss Re’s vision to make the world more resilient.


Are you a skilled legal professional ready to make a meaningful impact in a dynamic, global environment? This is your opportunity to bring your expertise to one of the world's leading reinsurance companies, working at the heart of Swiss Re's Luxembourg operations on a 1-year fixed-term contract (maternity cover). If you thrive on variety, value collaboration, and are passionate about corporate and regulatory law, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

This is a maternity cover position for 1 year, offering a rare chance to step into a high-impact legal role with broad scope and real responsibility. You'll be a key member of our Luxembourg legal team, advising on a wide range of corporate, legal, and regulatory matters for Swiss Re entities across the globe. No two days will look the same — from attending board meetings to driving restructuring projects, you'll be at the centre of the action.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee corporate legal and regulatory matters for Luxembourg-based companies and their global branches and subsidiaries, ensuring compliance and sound governance
  • Act as a trusted legal advisor, delivering clear, practical, and commercially sound legal and regulatory guidance to stakeholders across the business

  • Engage in corporate restructuring projects, contributing legal expertise to support Swiss Re's evolving business needs
  • Develop templates, policies, and processes to strengthen legal frameworks and drive operational efficiency
  • Manage outside counsel relationships, ensuring high-quality and cost-effective external legal support

About You

You are a proactive and commercially minded legal professional who brings both technical expertise and a collaborative spirit to everything you do. You're comfortable working independently, yet you thrive in a team environment where knowledge-sharing and mutual support are part of the culture. You take ownership of your work, demonstrate resilience under pressure, and approach challenges with enthusiasm and a solutions-oriented mindset.

  • Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously


These are additional nice to haves:
