Tech Lead / Solution Owner
About this role
SCOR is seeking an experienced Tech Lead / Solution Owner - Retrocession to lead both the technical evolution and the functional understanding of the Retrocession ecosystem, the Group's central back-office platform for reinsurance and retrocession operations.
The role combines strong technical leadership with solution ownership responsibilities, ensuring that architecture, modernization, delivery and operational support remain aligned with Retrocession business processes, functional behaviors, data flows and critical business rules.
As SCOR accelerates the adoption of modern engineering practices, APIs, and data platforms, this leader will assess the legacy retrocession landscape, reverse-engineer functional behaviors, identify modernization opportunities, and steer the transition toward a new, more modular, scalable, and data-centric service architecture.

Working closely with the Product Owner and Core team lead, this role blends hands-on technical expertise, functional analysis, stakeholder alignment, mentoring and architectural guidance to build sustainable, future-ready retrocession services.
While remaining a hands-on technical leadership role, people management responsibilities for the Retrocession squad may be added over time as the team grows.
