At Munich Re, data scientists translate analytics and AI into measurable business value for our clients, partners, employees, and the Group as a whole.

Your career, shaped by you
A career in the data and AI function at Munich Re is rarely a straight line — and that's the point. As AI reshapes how we assess risks and handle claims, new specialisations and roles are emerging alongside it. You might start as a Data Scientist and grow into an AI program manager, an AI strategist or an AI Governance expert. Beyond the team itself, Munich Re's global scale means you can take your skills across AI teams, business units, geographies, and domains. And we invest in making it happen: through structured learning, access to the latest tools and methods, and a culture that treats upskilling as part of the job, not an afterthought.
Through the integrated study program, with a focus on data science, I built a strong foundation in both deep learning methods and reinsurance domain knowledge. Today, as a young professional in the AI Implementation team, I particularly value being able to leverage this background as a core developer of state-of-the-art AI products in the reinsurance space.
