• Support clients with insights into catastrophe risks, sensitivity studies, and advanced analytics based on model outputs.

Qualifications

• College Seniors graduating between Spring 2026 to Spring 2027 with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
• Bachelor's degree (BA/BS) in Economics, Finance, Math or other similarly quantitative or analytically oriented major or equivalent experience is preferred.
