Public sector institutions across the United States are facing a profound shift in risk complexity. Climate volatility, infrastructure stress, fiscal constraints, and evolving federal support mechanisms are fundamentally changing how governments and other public sector entities think about resilience, recovery, and long-term financial stability. In this environment, leaders increasingly seek partners who can respond rapidly, engage proactively, and deliver integrated, forward-looking risk insights, analytics, and solutions.
Swiss Re’s Public Sector Solutions (PSS) team is designed to meet this challenge. PSS brings together Swiss Re’s reinsurance, insurance, alternative risk transfer and capital solutions, and risk data capabilities to serve public sector clients and brokers, helping them rethink how to understand, finance, and transfer risk. PSS plays a distinct role within Swiss Re, connecting public sector brokers and clients to our full capabilities to design solutions that fit their unique buying behaviors and complex stakeholder environments.
At Swiss Re, we apply deep expertise, intelligent data, and capital strength to help make the world more resilient. Public Sector Solutions offers a unique opportunity to combine commercial impact with public purpose — working at the intersection of government, markets, and risk innovation at a time when the sector needs it most. We are seeking an exceptional Senior Client Manager to join our team in shaping and delivering on these commitments.
About The Role Reporting to the SVP and Head of Public Sector Solutions, US, the Senior Client Manager is one of three senior client leaders covering the nation. The successful candidate will have the mandate and opportunity to develop sales and coverage strategy, build broker and stakeholder relationships, and influence go-to-market priorities across US state, municipal, and federal government segments in addition to other US public entities.
The role sits within a truly global Public Sector Solutions organization, with integrated teams sharing best practices across the seven core PSS markets. The platform is supported by dedicated experts in Technical Sales, Structuring, Origination, and Risk Data Solutions, enabling Senior Client Managers to focus on understanding public sector needs, setting direction, and connecting the right capabilities to deliver best-in-class solutions.
The Senior Client Manager will partner with business, distribution, and data analytics leaders across the US to identify solutions for the public sector and provide thought leadership on this unique client type to internal stakeholders. Typical partners included Nat Cat, Credit & Surety, political risk insurance, structured casualty, parametric solutions, alternative capital, and other risk transfer solutions. There is also close collaboration with Branding & Marketing, Regulatory Affairs, Risk Management, Legal, and Swiss Re Institute.
This role offers the opportunity to shape Swiss Re’s public sector presence in the US — setting origination priorities, leading complex client and broker engagements, and acting as a trusted advisor across Swiss Re’s businesses.
