Working as a commercial assistant
As a business graduate, you will support our teams in the processing of receivables and payables from domestic and foreign business partners. Your tasks may also include the independent clarification of open items or the preparation of annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance with current HGB/IFRS accounting standards. Our work has an international flavour. A good command of English is a prerequisite. Further foreign language skills are welcome. You don't have to be a reinsurance professional; we understand that this is a very specific industry. What is important to us is that you are motivated and willing to learn, have a sense of team spirit and are prepared to share and develop your commercial expertise.
"If you open your ears here, you will often hear English, French, Spanish and other languages. We have 54 nationalities in our team. There is a great sense of solidarity in our "accounting family". I really like that."
Commercial assistants like you support us mainly in financial management or underwriting. Depending on requirements, you will liaise with primary insurers, brokers, other reinsurers and other partners in Germany and abroad. You will process incoming invoices, check claims and be responsible for bookkeeping and payment transactions. We value your ability to work independently, your openness to innovation and, of course, your knowledge of standard software systems. You can find out more about your division here:
"What I appreciate most about my work at Hannover Re is the variety. On the one hand in the tasks, but also in the cooperation. Our market areas are organised by country and I often work with colleagues from abroad. But also the diversity of business areas such as cyber, transport, aviation, space and the digitalisation and automation of processes means that I'm always learning something new."
