- Support automation, AI, and reporting initiatives across the claims function.
- Deliver deep-dive analyses on emerging risks, class-specific trends, and market-wide exposure events.
- Contribute to upskilling and technical development across actuarial and claims teams.

What We’re Looking For

- Strong analytical mindset and experience interpreting complex numerical data.
- Confident communicator who can navigate and influence across technical and non-technical teams.
- Advanced Excel skills; familiarity with SQL and Power BI (or similar tools) is highly desirable.
- Ability to work independently, manage competing deadlines, and drive process improvements.
- Prior experience in actuarial, reserving, or claims within the London Market is a strong advantage.

Why This Role?
