Are you fascinated by IT risk management and artificial intelligence? Do you want to actively shape how Zurich uses new technologies safely and responsibly? Do you enjoy analysing complex relationships, making risks transparent and formulating recommendations that support decisions up to the highest level?

As an AI & Life IT Risk Manager, you are part of the Risk Management business unit in the field of IT risk management and actively participate in the further development of Zurich Switzerland. Together with your team, you will play a central role in monitoring and managing AI governance and risks. You will also focus on strategic and operational IT risks in the Life business area. You can expect a dynamic environment that promotes innovation, responsibility and collaboration – and in which learning and further development are expressly desired.

This is what awaits you

• As an AI risk expert, you play a key role in monitoring and ensuring a structured AI governance process
• You are the central contact person for IT risks in the life business area and accompany stakeholders with new products, projects and migrations
• Make risks transparent, question existing assessments and carry out structured risk analyses together with the business
• You will actively develop the AI governance framework – in close cooperation with Legal, Compliance and IT
• You bring the risk and governance perspective into IT projects and new AI use cases at an early stage so that innovative solutions are implemented safely and responsibly

This sets you apart

• Completed studies with a technical focus (e.g. computer science, business informatics), supplemented by further education or certification in IT and risk management (e.g. CRISC, AAIR, CISSP or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor)
• Professional experience in IT or AI risk management, ideally in the insurance industry (life of benefit) or another regulated environment
• Knowledge of relevant regulatory requirements and standards (e.g. EU AI Act, NIST, COBIT) – or the willingness to get involved quickly and thoroughly
• Strong analytical and technical competence, high affinity for data and technology as well as a structured, independent working method with quick comprehension
• Enjoy working with different disciplines, the ability to convey complex topics in an understandable way, as well as very good German and English skills in words and writing
