Job description

Overview

Senior Non-Natural Catastrophe Research Analyst – London – Full time, permanent.

The Exposure Management team plays a vital role at MS Amlin in understanding, advising, and reporting on the level of risk being written by the business. It is a stimulating environment where colleagues use sophisticated modelling and analytics, as well as their expertise in natural and non-natural hazards, exposure, and financial terms to partner with underwriters and other stakeholders on business decisions. Outputs from the team are fundamental to determining prices, fulfilling capital requirements, and setting risk appetites.

Within Exposure Management, the Catastrophe Research team is responsible for MS Amlin\'s View of Risk. For non-natural catastrophe this involves designing scenarios for use in the internal model and managing tolerances, validating and recommending vendor models (e.g. for cyber), and leading the development of aggregation systems (e.g. for casualty). As a member of the team you have an opportunity to work on challenging problems in a collaborative team, whilst developing your own knowledge and career.

This role specifically focuses on the continuous advancement of the Exposure Management framework for non-natural catastrophe risk.

  • New methodologies, systems and automation for capturing and monitoring non-natural catastrophe (NNC) exposure data
  • Exposure and scenario-based analytics to manage NNC risk
  • Underwriting Risk Tolerances associated with NNC risk within the wider Risk Tolerance Framework
• Assist the Head of Catastrophe Research on the development of MS Amlin\'s View of Risk, including ensuring NNC risk is appropriately captured within the Internal Model and validating and onboarding vendor models
• Develop a deep understanding of the NNC risks relevant to our insurance and reinsurance exposure, which includes aviation, casualty, crisis management, cyber, marine and natural resources
• Horizon scanning for new and emerging NNC risks
• Follow the latest industry trends and developments in NNC exposure management and share this with the wider team
• Constructively work with other members of the team across exposure management, catastrophe modelling and actuarial disciplines in a collaborative and open manner
• Assist the wider team with regular internal and external reporting requirements as well as event response analysis when required

You\'re going to enjoy this job if you also

• Have an interest in a wide range of NNC risk (including but not limited to: geopolitical, casualty and cyber)
