Support the underwriters with ad-hoc modeling requests and risk analysis for large accounts or unique structures. Conduct aggregation monitoring, real-time event modeling (e.g., via Alert), and support exposure reporting across business segments. Develop and maintain internal documentation of modeling standards, SOPs, and data dictionaries. Assist with regulatory and rating agency reporting (e.g., NAIC, AM Best). Partner with actuaries and underwriters on portfolio steering initiatives, trend analysis, and reinsurance optimization. Support the use of AIR modeling data for internal and head office reporting requirements. Collaborate with internal teams to validate requirements and assist in the integration of AIR workbooks into the Underwriting Workbench.

Minimum 3 years of experience in catastrophe modeling or exposure management in the (re)insurance industry. Hands-on experience with AIR Touchstone required; experience with RMS models a plus. Knowledge of catastrophe perils (e.g., hurricane, earthquake, wildfire) and how they impact property risk. Proficiency in Excel, SQL, and geospatial tools (e.g., AIR’s Geospatial Module). Experience working with or managing outsourced/BPO modeling resources preferred. Strong communication skills with the ability to serve as a bridge between technical modeling and underwriting business needs.
Preferred Attributes
CEEM or other catastrophe modeling certifications a plus. Strong project management skills and attention to detail. Experience in multi-line property portfolios or commercial large schedules. Familiarity with regulatory requirements for CAT exposure (e.g., ORSA, NAIC Climate Risk Disclosure).
