• Risk Management use: The Chubb Internal Model is integrated into the Risk Management Framework, acting both as a measure of emerging risks and also the metric by which risk appetite is assessed.This role will be expected to continue to develop this area and seek future opportunities to embed the model into a coherent risk management strategy
• Wider model use: Respond to use requests, identify and develop areas for future use.
• Work with off-site team in Chubb Business Services India to ensure maximum efficiency of resource

Qualifications

• Ideally five years’ actuarial experience, including three years’ experience in capital modelling. Experience in area dealing with assets (e.g. investment risk, treasury, accounting) will also be looked on favourably. Experience with Igloo (modelling software) also preferable but not required.
