Talent Partner L&H Re (Hybrid; 80-100%)

Are you passionate about unlocking talent potential and shaping high-performing, future-ready organisations? If you thrive at the intersection of people strategy and business impact — and love partnering with senior leaders to make a real difference — this could be the role for you. Join us as a Talent Partner supporting one of our Business Units, where you will play a pivotal role in driving talent, leadership, culture and organisational effectiveness priorities that fuel business success and create an exceptional employee experience.

About the Role

As Talent Partner, you will be the go-to expert embedded within the Business Unit, dedicated to unlocking people potential and translating business strategy into meaningful people outcomes. You will partner closely with senior leaders and leadership teams to drive talent decisions, succession planning and organizational capability priorities. This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable thinking strategically and rolling up their sleeves to make things happen.

Key Responsibilities

• Design together with the business and coordinate the implementation of the talent strategy, measure outcomes and ensure successful adoption by business leaders
• Imagine the future of work, how the business and roles will evolve, as well as the capabilities required for the future to ensure the organization gets ready for what comes next and secures/develops the necessary talent
• Design and facilitate the Talent Review sessions for the leadership teams, including succession planning, talent pipelining and leadership pipeline development
• Lead end-to-end employee engagement survey processes — communicating, coordinating and analysing results, providing actionable insights and monitoring follow-up actions to ensure a quality employee experience
• Embed inclusion as a fundamental pillar of all Talent Management processes within the Business Unit, staying connected to the latest Inclusion initiatives and ensuring they are integrated meaningfully
• Stay ahead of the curve on Talent projects across areas such as performance culture, strategic people planning and capability development
• Operationalise Talent & Culture group processes across the Business Unit, taking clear personal ownership and accountability for implementation in partnership with relevant peers and colleagues
• Interpret and leverage people data and analytics — including Swiss Re-wide surveys and other sources — to diagnose root causes of talent and learning challenges and drive evidence-based solutions

About the Team

Our team partners with leaders across Life and Health Reinsurance, Asset Management and EMEA countries. We play a critical role in enabling the success of these functions by ensuring our people, leaders and organisation are equipped to meet current and future business challenges. We work closely with business leaders and HR colleagues to shape talent strategies, strengthen leadership pipelines, foster an inclusive culture and build the capabilities needed for long-term success. We are a collaborative, high-performing team that blends strategic thinking with pragmatic execution — always with a sharp focus on business impact. If you value both big-picture thinking and getting things done, you'll feel right at home here.

About You

You are a commercially minded talent and people professional who genuinely enjoys partnering with leaders, solving complex organisational challenges and turning data into action. You bring a compelling combination of strategic thinking, strong stakeholder management and a deep passion for developing people and organisations. You are curious, credible and confident — able to influence at senior levels while remaining grounded in practical delivery.

We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements:

• Proven experience in talent management, organisational effectiveness, leadership development, learning, culture and/or inclusion — with a track record of delivering measurable impact
• Solid experience in strategic workforce planning
• Strong command of succession planning, talent reviews, capability development and career growth frameworks, with the ability to design and facilitate high-quality talent sessions for senior leadership teams
• Demonstrated ability to translate business strategy into practical people solutions, with strong analytical skills and experience using people data and insights to inform and influence decision-making

These are additional nice to haves:

• Experience supporting organisational transformation, change management or strategic workforce planning initiatives
• Background in consulting, organisational development or a related advisory capacity
• Excellent communication, facilitation and presentation skills, with confidence engaging and influencing senior stakeholders
• Degree or equivalent professional experience in Human Resources, Organisational Psychology, Business, Social Sciences or a related field
