Within the Insurance Department, which manages life insurance products and processes (savings and investment solutions for self-employed individuals and private customers), from product development and sales through to portfolio management, the Marketing & Market Communication Department defines the strategy to attract and retain customers in order to grow the sales of our products and services.

The team consists of around ten colleagues and is looking for someone like you!

Your Responsibilities

As a Product Manager Life Insurance, you will be responsible for the development, adaptation, positioning, and monitoring of our life insurance products and services (for individuals and self-employed customers), in line with customer needs, market developments, and competitive trends.

You act as the project manager, reconciling different viewpoints and driving consensus that benefits the business. Product development is in your hands. This also requires discipline and rigor in managing all product-related documentation and contractual documents (general and special terms and conditions, financial fact sheets, technical documentation, insurance proposals, etc.).
Implementing portfolio monitoring through dashboards and relevant KPIs in order to report in a structured way on portfolio evolution, proactively identify risks and opportunities, and propose appropriate mitigation or development actions.
Generating new ideas and working closely with Marketing and Sales teams to develop marketing campaigns, create sales support materials (including broker training materials), and contribute to the commercial launch of new products and services.
