Project Manager (m/f/d)*
Munich Re concerns itself with the major challenges facing the world today – population growth, globalization, resource scarcity, environmental pollution, and climate change. Based on its knowledge of the resulting tasks and challenges for societies and economies, it established the Munich Re Foundation in 2005 to take a stand on issues affecting the future of society and to assume social responsibility in solving the tasks ahead.
The Munich Re Foundation’s goal is to tackle pressing global challenges and develop solutions for people at risk. We see our central task as helping vulnerable communities become aware of the risks they face and empowering people through targeted risk management.
