Swiss Life

Swiss Life is one of Europe's leading providers of life insurance, pensions and financial solutions, serving individuals and businesses across Switzerland, France, Germany, Luxembourg and Singapore. The group counts around 1.4m private customers and more than 50,000 corporate clients, and has been in operation for over 165 years. It was founded in 1857 as Schweizerische Rentenanstalt (Swiss Annuity Company) by Conrad Widmer, a Zurich-based lawyer.

Its work spans several distinct domains: life insurance products that provide income protection and financial security; pension and retirement planning for both individuals and companies; tailored wealth management; and employee benefits schemes for corporate clients. Together these cover financial risk protection, long-term savings and the administration of complex, regulated financial products at scale.

The company describes its guiding principles as stability, expertise and long-term thinking, alongside an effort to adapt to the evolving needs of modern customers. Its stated aim is to help people achieve financially self-determined lives - a purpose traced back to its founding vision of helping people build financial security.

Roles at Swiss Life typically draw on its technical domains of life insurance, pension planning, wealth management, employee benefits and financial risk protection, within the broader fields of financial services and insurance.
