Role Purpose

The role supports the Exposure Analytics Manager in developing and maintaining a suite of innovative tools to track, analyse and manage natural and non natural catastrophe accumulation exposure across the business.

This role will suit a candidate with a strong background in coding and with interest in problem solving and process automation. Experience working with exposure datasets is desirable but not essential.

• Develop out process automation pipelines across the Exposure Analytics team to ensure timely updates of key analytical dashboards (e.g. using Databricks, Power BI).
• Work with the Research team to develop proprietary risk scoring datasets (e.g. using open-source geospatial data) for qualitative assessment of natural catastrophe hazard to deliver enhanced pricing and portfolio insight.
• Support the development of code pipelines to allow underwriters and senior stakeholders to view their natural catastrophe portfolio of exposures on different views of risk (e.g. climate conditioned views) consistent with the latest scientific research.
• Develop code to translate natural catastrophe simulated loss outputs into various forms required throughout the business (Capital, Active Portfolio Management).
• Work with the core Exposure Management team to help develop novel tools to enhance accuracy and consistency of natural catastrophe pricing outputs and reduce manual workloads through Python/SQL solutions.

The above duties and responsibilities are not an exhaustive list, and you may be required to undertake other reasonable duties compatible with your experience and competencies. This description may be varied from time to time to reflect changing business requirements.
