About the role

This position, of Research Editor and Editorial Manager, is key to the creation of exceptional quality original research and thought leadership for Swiss Re's clients and partners.
You will work on our industry-leading sigma research and other publications, delivering high quality text editing and supporting the team on setting and managing production schedules.

Main activities
Trusted partner: in this role, you will be an expert advisor to SRI's team of more than 40 research analysts in Zurich, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing and Bangalore.
Your role is to assist them from concept to final proofread, listening to their needs, keeping them on track and ultimately helping to translate their specialist knowledge into compelling narratives accessible to Swiss Re clients and partners (external and internal).
