About the Role

As an Executive Assistant within Swiss Re’s Asset Management division, you will be the operational backbone for several Managing Directors and their teams across three distinct investment areas.

Key responsibilities include:

• Screen and prioritize incoming emails, visitor requests, and inquiries, evaluating relevance and importance, and directing them to the appropriate team members with sound judgment
• Compose, edit, and format correspondence, reports, and confidential documents from brief instructions or notes, ensuring accuracy and professionalism at all times
• Prepare agendas and meeting materials, take and transcribe minutes, and distribute final meeting notes with timely follow-up on action items
• Manage complex calendars for multiple senior leaders, arranging travel, meetings, conference calls, visitor registrations, conference room bookings, and catering logistics
• Coordinate intricate travel arrangements, including international itineraries, ensuring all logistics are seamlessly executed and process related expenses
• Produce high-quality reports and presentations using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to support leadership communications and business needs
• Contribute to special projects across Asset Management functional areas and in support of senior leadership initiatives
• Provide backup support to fellow Executive Assistants, fostering a collaborative and resilient team environment
• Assist with event planning in a corporate setting, coordinating logistics and ensuring smooth execution of internal and external events
