• Advanced skills in SQL and Excel (including VBA); familiarity with Power BI and coding languages is advantageous.
• Strong commercial acumen, problem-solving ability, and excellent communication skills.
• A collaborative mindset, with the confidence to challenge and influence at all levels.
• Passion for innovation and continuous improvement in analytics capabilities.

What’s on Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A genuinely collaborative, inclusive, and entrepreneurial environment.
• Opportunities to shape and influence the direction of a global cyber underwriting business.
• A culture where every voice is heard, and every individual can make a meaningful impact—both in the industry and in the community.
