We might write the future of risk for our brokers and clients, but we would love to help you write your future at Brit: a future based on not just progressing but on thriving – both professionally and emotionally. If you’re looking for a place to make a real difference read on.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you'll work closely with Brit's Head of Risk Aggregation and the wider Research & Development team to help develop Brit's understanding of catastrophe risk and the technology that supports our commercial operations.

This is a role for someone who enjoys combining technical depth with commercial impact. You'll bring experience from the Lloyd's or London Market, a strong understanding of catastrophe modelling and a curiosity for either technical development or natural catastrophe research. Whether your strength is in areas such as cloud infrastructure, databases, C# .NET, JavaScript frameworks and Python, or in researching perils such as US natural catastrophes and the impact of climate change, you'll help build better tools, sharper insight and stronger capability across the Risk Aggregation team.
