For me, working for Munich Re means working in an international environment. I had the opportunity to work and live in India for more than two years. It was a highly rewarding experience. I learnt how to put a plan into action and collaborate with colleagues in a foreign work and cultural environment.Lara BartschMunich Re Germany, MunichConsultant Reserving
Own and manage your career
As widely diverse as career goals may be, career paths at Munich Re are just as varied. We do not expect career to progress in a straight line – a step to the side, or even backtracking, can yield rich development opportunities. As a Munich Re employee, you have access to local and global development programmes and training courses for all levels to design your career path in line with your aims and ambitions.
What does developing a career mean for you?
As a Munich Re employee you can choose your career path. You may want to take on more responsibility, add a qualification or grow your leadership skills. Maybe you’d rather not manage others. You can deepen your expertise, expand your knowledge to a new area or broaden your perspective, instead. The freedom to shape your work identity is what makes Munich Re a great workplace.
Thanks to quality development programmes and a thriving learning culture, we regularly fill our management and expert positions by hiring from inside Munich Re.
