Gen Re

Gen Re runs several distinct entry paths rather than one generalist graduate program (careers):

• P&C Graduate Scheme: a 24-month trainee programme as an Actuary or Underwriter, based in Cologne or London, requiring a degree in insurance economics, mathematics or a similar field plus German and English language skills
• Jump School: a structured training program for new underwriting hires, run before placement into a branch office, followed by additional training through an underwriter's first 5+ years
• Entry-level, post-university tracks in Actuarial, Underwriting & Marketing, and Claims, each with its own trainee or associate starting point
• Working student and intern placements running 6 months to 2 years across Finance, HR, Legal & Compliance, IT and Marketing Support teams

Because the P&C Graduate Scheme specifically requires German and English fluency and sits in Cologne or London, while Jump School and the direct-hire tracks run across Gen Re's wider office network, which path is realistically open to a candidate depends on language and location as much as degree background.

Gen Re has been part of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies since 1998, when Berkshire completed its roughly $22 billion acquisition of General Re Corporation, and describes Berkshire's capital strength as giving it "the freedom to focus on long-term underwriting results" rather than a quarterly capital position. Its European business traces back to Cologne Re, founded in Germany in 1846 as the world's first stand-alone professional reinsurance company and now operating as General Reinsurance AG; Gen Re marked 175 years of that lineage in 2021. Gen Re's principal subsidiaries also carry AM Best's top A++ (Superior) financial strength rating. For a trainee choosing between reinsurers, this combination is a specific kind of stability: a European underwriting lineage tracing to the origin of the industry, inside a privately held, top-rated US parent, rather than a listed reinsurer managing its own quarterly capital position.
