  • Align with and adhere to Munich Re global governance processes and tools while maintaining a key focus on design patterns and technology standards
  • Act as a liaison between divergent business and IT teams to bring them together, mentor, share knowledge, solve problems, design common reusable assets and maximize the use of existing capabilities and frameworks
