I am conducting a search on behalf of an established insurance carrier that is looking for a senior catastrophe risk analyst to join their team this 2026. This role focuses on the reinsurance side of catastrophe modelling, so I am keen to speak with catastrophe risk analysts with ideally 4/5+ years of experience in reinsurance.
I am open to speaking to RMS/AIR users, and the main responsibility of this role would be to take the lead on one of the following workstreams: terrorism, regulatory returns, portfolio aggregation, business planning, event response, MSI or development.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to build up ownership in the catastrophe space, work closely with a dynamic team, and progress your career.
