Working at msg insur:it

“Besides the diversity of actuarial assignments and programming software, I particularly enjoy the balance between working in the background and direct contact with our customers on-site. As a mathematician, it is nice to see your own work going straight to the customer and proving a success. I bear responsibility and am actively involved in the decision as to what work content I want to focus on more closely.”

“Throughout consulting, customer projects and product development my specific knowledge as a mathematician is in great demand. I’m able to contribute a lot to the teams as a specialist but can also accompany complex projects as a generalist. These varied and exciting tasks challenge me every single day, which makes me happy!”

“What I particularly appreciate about my job is the varied national and international project work. I am responsible for a wide range of challenging tasks, from actuarial consulting in insurance processes, specification and design through to implementation and mathematical testing. For me it’s all about the mix: I have plenty of space to work autonomously and independently and at the same time I cooperate a lot with my team and our customers.”

“Mutual support among colleagues and staff development have a very high priority at msg life. After joining msg life, I am now as a product owner responsible for the cross-component implementation of new requirements from different departments in an agile project environment. In addition, as a team leader I can support my colleagues in their further development within the company. This gives me an exciting and varied range of tasks. Flexible working hours and further training opportunities round off my work.”

“For 20 years I have experienced diversity, responsibility, ongoing new projects and teams at msg life. As a specialist for insurance technology I not only work on mathematical brain-teasers, but also on the technical development of software solutions. My job gives me the opportunity to work on all the development phases of a project and to assume responsibility – from coordination with the client, conceptional work and coding through to system testing. As a commuter I find the flexible working hours very helpful. Thanks to the individual support from msg life I was also able to complete my actuarial training. And I enjoy making use of the sports on offer at the site.”

“The knowledge of an actuary is becoming more and more important to insurances, as it is meanwhile used throughout classic pricing and reserving in insurances. Next to all the technologies that are provided by msg nexinsure, there is a great range of areas requiring machine learning, product design or real time monitoring and pricing.”

“For me, working at msg life means: dealing with challenges at a high level. By that I mean the functional contents and also the technical implementation. My functional focus is on requirements management for insurance technology. I really enjoy working for a modern company with a good HR policy. Here I can contribute my own ideas and put them into practice, in connection with the design and execution of customer workshops, for instance, or the definition of new requirements.”

“As an actuary and expert for insurance technology in mathematics I have to deal with varied and challenging topics and project work every day. My day-to-day work at msg life entails the analysis, design and implementation of customising requests for our core product, the Life Factory. Flexibility to determine my working hours is particularly important to me as a mother of two. My colleagues and managers are very understanding and that is part of the reason that I can take on responsible assignments.”

“After two interesting and instructive years in computation module development in projects for customers, I took the next step at msg life that best suited me. As an assistant to the Management Board, I currently assist all of the members of the Management Board with their everyday business and am a liaison with regard to central and forward-looking aspects of the development of our software. My internal job change was quick and pleasant with no bureaucratic obstacles. The positive influence of new colleagues and fields of responsibility has been a tremendous boost for my personal development. I look forward to more great experiences at msg life!”

“As my first employer, msg life enabled me to make the transition from my theoretical studies to professional work as a mathematician. The mathematical programming that is part of my daily work mostly takes place across all our offices. Thanks to flat hierarchies and close, straightforward working relationships, there are no difficulties at all in collaborating with colleagues in other offices.”

“I really enjoy communicating with my colleagues at msg life and the customer employees from our projects. Since I am involved in the product settings as a mathematician and I have to deal with the transformation of customer data into our systems as a migration actuary, this is exactly what I get to do at msg life. This allows me to assess different implementation options from multiple perspectives and actively participate in the programming of the products.”

“I think it is important to work in a collegial atmosphere in which I can further myself continuously. This has been the case with my work at msg life. As an insurance consultant in an agile team, I value the teamwork with my friendly colleagues in particular. We help and learn from one another. I find the diverse challenges and the various opportunities to learn new things exciting. Due to my flexible working hours and the option of working part time, my job at msg life is also easy to balance with my family life.”

“As a business informatics scientist with a PhD, I have found the perfect employer match at msg nexinsure. In my role as a project leader in one of our major projects I am challenged to deal with technical and economical tasks every single day. It is a great joy to have a wide variety and cooperation with the client and internal colleagues from different departments, such as development, business analysis, architecture, program management etc. This also helps me develop my personal training curve.”

“As a consultant, I am in charge of conceptualising and implementing processes. My fields of responsibility are exciting and my everyday work highly diverse. I particularly enjoy working on my own responsibility and working in teams of people from multiple sites. I was immediately welcomed with open arms by my new colleagues at msg life and so felt comfortable straight away.”

“In order to provide quality assurance it is necessary to carry out software tests. As a lead business consultant and sub-project leader I can fully use my strengths, as the high professional competence in this area is extremely important. The challenging tasks are very diversified. I also enjoy the direct contact to clients during trainings for our software.”

“After ten years of handling insurance cases, I moved behind the scenes and am now helping to design an administration system for life insurance policies. I test the system from inputting applications to processing payments so that it works the way it is supposed to for the customer. My ideas and suggestions were welcome from the outset; ultimately I was an end customer for years. I felt like I was part of the team immediately and even now learn something new every day. My personal development is also actively supported by msg life and my private life does not suffer thanks to flexible working hours and being able to work from home. I look forward to seeing what is on the horizon.”

“What I like best about msg life is that here the team is not just a word, but people really think as a team – we all work towards concrete goals and all pull in the same direction in order to deliver great results for the customer and the company. In my day-to-day work I also get frequent acknowledgement of what I do from my colleagues and managers and I’m happy to reciprocate with that. Flexible working hours mean I can combine private life and business life very well.”

“After working as a working student I didn’t have to think long about working somewhere else. The great working atmosphere including the interesting tasks had convinced me. As a chief product owner I now have the opportunity to create one of the main components of our msg.HealthFactory within an agile team.”

“As a junior business consultant at msg life, I formulate customer requests, document them in concepts and test the changes after they have been made. I greatly value msg life as an employer as I feel that I count as a person – this recognition comes not only from my colleagues, but also from superiors. The working environment is pleasant and despite the fact that the work is diverse and you can handle it on your own responsibility, further professional development is never neglected.”

“A few years have passed since I moved from an insurer to msg life and a lot has happened in that time. I was allowed to attend my first appointment with a customer on just my third day at work, followed by three months of intensive onboarding and active participation in my first projects. As such, I was involved in processes and the daily events without delay, enabling me to orient myself at work quickly. No matter what I needed assistance with, all of my colleagues gave it immediately and without fuss. And that is exactly how I wanted it to be. Today I am involved in a handful of projects and can both contribute my own ideas and implement them on my own responsibility.”

“As head of a certain department, I have lots of different touch points with various colleagues. For me, it is very important that we work together in harmony. Every day at msg life I’m lucky to experience a good and positive work environment that is created through collegiality and the possibility to bring in own ideas. Thanks to modern work time models I am very flexible to arrange my workday regarding time and place. Another key factor for me: msg life offers lots of development possibilities for me in different fields.”

“At msg life I can really hit the ground running as a business consultant. Working on different projects and answering customer enquiries always brings up a wealth of fascinating new topics. Plus, I am focusing on analysing new questions as well as the design and development of drafts and specifications. Discussing relevant issues with my colleagues, we keep finding new approaches for solving a problem. Teamwork is vital at msg life and with regular feedback from my managers I can develop my individual career prospects.”

“My role as business consultant connects customer requirements, product development und project teams and helps me create the perfect solution for our clients. I have been part of this company since 1998 and still every project is different and exciting.”

“As a business analyst and product owner I take care of our client’s technical requirements and together with colleagues from our agile product development team develop technical solution concepts to implement those requirements. I esteem the agility within our team. SCRUM isn’t just a phrase. Everyone can take part in the shaping of the product. That’s how the best solutions are developed that are sustainable.”

“Before a product can be delivered to the customer it has to be thoroughly tested to eliminate any errors beforehand and to ensure it functions perfectly. That calls for all the teams involved to work together closely. There is a pleasant working atmosphere at msg life. We treat each other as equals and all pull in the same direction. That not only enables us to deliver a good product to our customers, but means we have fun at work too and can keep developing together.”

“The most exciting thing about my work as an expert product adviser is the combination of different fields of work, from coordinating with the customer on a technical level and implementing insurance products through to dealing with functional requirements of a legal and financial nature. msg life offers me the perfect mix of exciting and varied tasks.”

“Although I’ve only been part of msg life for a few months I can already say that I feel right at home here! The introductory programme is well structured and every department has received me with open arms and an open mind for my questions. Everyone is on first-name terms and is very keen to help each other. I couldn’t have wished for a better start. Now I’m interested to see how my career here advances, because as a young person msg life offers me a wide range of personal and professional development opportunities.”

“As head of Quality Management and Project Management Office, I am in charge of developing and delivering concepts, methods and tools for projects. My team and I coordinate closely with Project Management and support our projects as experts in the applications and tools when they are used by the Project Management Office. msg life gives employees who want to get involved numerous opportunities to participate and develop personally. Thanks to the flat hierarchies and uncomplicated decision-making processes, it is possible to voice your opinions and make a significant difference to the company as an expert or manager.”

“As an executive program manager, I am in charge of two major msg.Insurance Suite introductory and migration projects for msg life on both a national and international level. My responsibilities include managing my project team of over 100 colleagues, making sure that we meet our project standards and holding contractual negotiations with our customers and subcontractors, and naturally I am also financially responsible for these projects. My job at msg life is therefore highly diverse and gives me a lot of freedom to work independently and structure my projects.”

“After completing my studies, I had the chance to start at msg life and am very happy about my position as IT consultant because everything fits: demanding tasks, a great team and new challenges every now and then. Our team of colleagues was even able to make third place at the Silpion-KickerCup in 2018, the greatest table soccer competition of all times – even in the table soccer world capital Hamburg, that’s something!”

“Formerly as a software developer and today as a project manager I have a wide variety of potential responsibilities, roles and development opportunities. I find it fascinating to work in international teams, to share our experience and so to move forwards together and celebrate achievements. At msg life we are always on the leading edge of the industry and are permanently refining our products – so there’s never any time to get bored.”

“I enjoy the fact that at msg insur:it I am able to combine my career and family. Having two kids, I decided to return to the company on a part time basis at first and was able to start as an insurance mathematician at msg insur:it in 2016. In the next few years I was able to adjust my part time model at any time – always according to the need of care for my children. In addition to that my mentors and superiors supported me and gave me challenging tasks. Therefore I was able to continuously develop my skills and knowledge and take on positions as part project manager and project manager. Nowadays I work as program manager at msg insur:it and are glad that I never had to make a choice between my family and my career.”

“Throughout the integration of our products in customer environments we need know how, customer orientation and teamwork. In the project architecture of our company field customer projects, I can find the right challenges, great colleagues, and excellent competence.”

“Every day is different at msg life. As a project manager, my responsibility lies in the frictionless realisation of of my projects. The requirements are not always completely predictable in project planning and can change over the course of the project. So at the start of the day I don’t always know exactly what’s going to come up and have to respond flexibly with my team to new challenges. As my employer, msg life gives me the freedom I need to do that and supports my work with individual development opportunities. Tackling exciting new tasks every day is what I like most about my job.”

“As a programme manager I am responsible for the technical and organisational control of a number of concurrent projects as well as their profitability. I am in close contact with our clients in regard of the full scope of all current project issues. I like to take advantage of the freedom of action and design that is granted to me. My area of responsibility is very diversified, I make use of flexible working hours and work on different premises. I enjoy working with msg life because in working together we help each other and value fair play. This is important for me as well.”

“As a working student within the marketing and sustainability department I am able to get great insights in different projects and also have the opportunity to help developing the topics.

The flexible working hours allow me to combine my studies with my working time perfectly.”

“As a working student and scholarship holder msg nexinsure offers me the perfect entrance to the world of employment. My colleagues trust and support me, and I can work independently on current technologies whilst learning about the foundations of IT in my studies.”

“I have been working in recruitment at msg life for over one year now. Generally speaking, my responsibilities include reading and processing applications as well as organising and supporting recruitment events. When I started as a student temp in September 2018, I did the job alongside my bachelor’s degree in business administration.

I am also responsible for the overall management of the team which entails everything to do with personnel administration as well as the optimisation of internal HR processes.

Everyone can take on as much responsibility as they want. I appreciate the highly collegial working environment and the flexibility you have at msg life, not to mention the trust placed in you – simply put, it is fun to be a part of msg life!”

“From my first day as a working student I was part of the controlling team. Over the time my responsibilities became greater and more complex. My colleagues and superiors were always there to support me and I was able to develop my skills permanently. At the end of my studies I was offered a position in the controlling department. Today I am the main controller for many customer projects and the product development.”

“As an HR professional in HR development, I am in charge of organising our internal training courses and events. I work in a great team which welcomed me with open arms from day one.
