Due to its unique ownership model and commitment to both local and divisional empowerment, this broker’s Reinsurance Division has more of a ‘boutique practice’ feel compared to competing teams at other globals. Furthermore, as it has no external shareholders to satisfy, it can commit to reinvesting profits in the business through the acquisition of high calibre talent and developing its own, cutting-edge technology. Despite its nimble approach and ability to quickly adapt to changes in the market, this firm has a real sense of scale, including a global presence (no less than 7,500 employees in over 90 offices worldwide).
The Reinsurance Division is going from strength to strength and, like the parent company, is continuing to deliver double-digit growth. As a result, it seeks a Catastrophe Modeller to be involved in all lines of business and interact closely with brokers and clients.
Key Duties:
- Conduct technical modelling utilising approved models and tools.
Gather data from various sources and prepare it for import, apply catastrophe modelling software (AIR & RMS statistical modelling tools) to data, analyse and validate results in a timely manner.
- Assist in providing and communicating catastrophe loss and exposure estimates to customers in a timely manner.
- Support and sustain profitable organizational growth by providing effective catastrophe analysis that identifies profitable areas to target and highlights unprofitable areas as well as monitoring key catastrophe statistics and advising management of possible issues.
- Obtain extensive knowledge of catastrophe-exposed products.
- Proactively share knowledge in catastrophe-related areas, create learning experiences and foster collaboration within the department
- Collaboration with Analytics team
The ideal candidate will have RMS and AIR exposure, experience of working with and analysing captive insurance companies, and the requisite mathematical skills to assist with actuarial loss forecasting. You must have an understanding of the financial implications of both self-insurance and captive arrangements, and also knowledge of spreadsheet applications and formula calculations.
Ever mindful of cultural fit, soft skills are of equal importance – you must be able to communicate effectively with all stakeholders, and have the ability to build and maintain good business relationships with clients and insurers. You must be able to develop an understanding of a client’s requirements and expectations, and also possess the tactful negotiation skills needed to help deliver objectives.
In return, you will receive a generous basic salary (entirely negotiable, but six figures is achievable for outstanding candidates), and a truly impressive benefits package, that can be tweaked to suit your own circumstances. You will also benefit from a fantastic, empowering culture and superb opportunities for progression and development in the shorter, medium and longer-term.
