About The Position

This role provides support to the High-Net-Worth homeowners business by producing monthly portfolio modeling reports and sharing insights with senior management. The analyst will produce modeled CAT analysis for property pricing, portfolio optimization, and aggregation management. This includes running scenario impact analyses with product and actuarial teams, assessing the impact of potential rate, deductible, or guideline changes, and producing pre-bind analysis for large property new business submissions. The position involves working with Analytics teams to ensure accurate data reporting for modeling and collaborating with the actuarial team to develop appropriate CAT loads for rate reviews. Post-event, the analyst will work with Claims and Actuarial teams to develop estimates of ultimate CAT losses, review and understand the impact of historical or probable CAT events on the company's book of business, and perform comparison studies on the company's CAT performance relative to peers. Responsibilities also include property exposure visualization/mapping, developing and implementing improved catastrophe reporting processes, and assisting with rating agency and regulatory returns. The role requires active participation in the catastrophe management team, sharing knowledge and expertise within the organization. Experience with RMS RiskLink and SQL within commercial property and personal lines insurance is essential. The analyst will run and interpret complex models for multiple perils (hurricane, earthquake, flood, and wildfire), translate technical results into actionable insights for underwriters, ERM teams, and senior management, and develop/maintain dashboards and automate processes using R within insurance.
