• Contribute technical input to prevention-linked product development and define practical standards for resilience assessment where relevant
• Work closely with peril-specific OE Centers of Competence for Climate Resilience and translate findings into globally scalable outputs
• Work closely with the climate scientists of the Center of Competence Natural Perils to merge engineering findings into our climate risk loss models
• Provide technical challenge on assumptions, evidence quality, output readiness and the practical feasibility of proposed resilience measures
• Drive alignment with data colleagues, business integration colleagues, internal experts and Operating Entity stakeholders so outputs are technically sound, usable and adopted
• Act as a reference expert across Global P&C and contribute to repeatable approaches, templates and knowledge assets that help scale resilience and prevention activity across Allianz Group
