Manager, Global Corporate Insurance & Liability (Legal)

About the Role:

BioNTech SE is seeking an insurance professional with a strong legal background to support and further develop our global liability insurance portfolio.

  • Motor and other corporate insurance lines

• Act as a key contact for internal stakeholders across R&D, Clinical Operations, Legal, Manufacturing, Quality, Commercial and Risk Management on insurance-related matters
• Review and assess business activities, contracts and operational processes with regard to liability exposures and insurance implications
• Participate in or lead negotiations with insurers, brokers and external advisors, depending on experience level
• Manage and maintain insurance policies, certificates of insurance and proof of coverage
• Support or take ownership of claims handling across insurance lines, including coverage analysis and coordination with insurers, brokers and internal stakeholders
• Contribute to additional corporate insurance lines beyond liability, where required
• Provide backup within the insurance team to ensure continuity across insurance topics and regions
• Monitor relevant legal and regulatory developments affecting liability risks and incorporate them into appropriate insurance solutions
• Support budgeting, invoice verification and coordination with Finance and other internal departments
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of BioNTech’s global insurance and risk management framework

A Good Match:

• Team-oriented, reliable and flexible working style with the ability to represent insurance topics internally and externally
• Strong analytical skills, structured working style and clear stakeholder communication
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• German (conversational level) is required; additional languages are an advantage
