LM Re provides reinsurance capacity across a broad range of commercial property and specialty lines, globally, with risk and exposure management and analytics at the core of the business.

An Exposure Management role working in close partnership with Underwriting, the role pairs technical cyber analysis with commercial understanding of the portfolio, ensuring exposure is effectively assessed, monitored and managed as LM Re grows its cyber book as a strategic priority.

• Monitor emerging risk and market trends, e.g systemic AI exposures, and their potential impact on the LM Re risk profile, escalating findings to the Exposure Management Director as appropriate.
• Support the development of analytical techniques, processes and methodologies to ensure the organization has effective tools to evaluate and mitigate cyber risk.
• Support cyber modelling validation to understand and evaluate the impact of model updates and revisions on outputs; communicate relevant insights to stakeholders.
• Support the review and sense check of model outputs, working closely with underwriters to translate results into portfolio and account-level decisions.
• Contribute to RDS (Realistic Disaster Scenario) methodology review and validation for cyber so outputs are understood and representative of the portfolio.
• Support the LM Re cyber event response process, assisting with timely assessment of potential losses arising from major cyber loss events.
• Other ad hoc assignments as may be required.

In virtue of your role’s prescribed legal entity responsibilities, you will be required to:

• Undertake your role with due regard to the prescribed responsibilities and regulatory requirements associated with that role - which may require undertaking appropriate learning & development.

• Undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g. business, maths, statistics, cyber security).
• Knowledge of cyber insurance, the cyber insurance market, and a keen interest in cyber risk generally.
• Knowledge of reinsurance and risk transfer analysis.
• Experience within an exposure management team; prior focus on cyber preferred.
• Experience of cyber catastrophe modelling is highly desirable.
• Practical experience of portfolio roll-up, realistic disaster scenarios, implementing control frameworks, MI design and reporting preferred.
• Expert knowledge and proven experience of utilising functions within Microsoft Excel.
• Knowledge of technical coding preferred, including SQL, R or VBA.
• Experience of using and developing solutions via PowerBI is desirable.
• Highly analytical, with the ability to process and understand data quickly and creatively.
• Ability to work independently whilst integrating into a time-critical business environment.
