What is catastrophe risk?

Catastrophe risk refers to the potential for significant losses resulting from large-scale, unexpected events such as natural disasters (like earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods) or man-made incidents (such as terrorism or industrial accidents). Professionals in catastrophe risk analyze, model, and manage these risks to help insurers, businesses, and governments prepare for and mitigate the financial impact of such events. Their work is essential for developing strategies, setting insurance premiums, and ensuring adequate reserves in the face of potentially devastating occurrences.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in catastrophe risk roles?

Professionals in Catastrophe Risk often encounter challenges such as interpreting complex data from multiple sources, staying updated with the latest modeling technologies, and managing uncertainty in predictions. They frequently work under tight deadlines, especially after major events like hurricanes or earthquakes, when rapid assessment is crucial. Collaboration with underwriters, actuaries, and data scientists is essential, as is the ability to communicate technical insights to non-technical stakeholders. Adapting to evolving regulatory requirements and emerging risks, such as those related to climate change, is also a key aspect of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a catastrophe risk analyst, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Catastrophe Risk Analyst, you need strong analytical skills, a background in statistics or actuarial science, and often a degree in mathematics, engineering, or a related field. Proficiency with catastrophe modeling software (such as RMS or AIR), GIS tools, and data analysis platforms like SQL or Python is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help analysts interpret data and present risk findings clearly. These skills are crucial for accurately assessing potential losses and supporting sound decision-making in the insurance and reinsurance industries.

Work environmentRisk modeling, data analysis, often in office or remoteAssessing property risks, underwriting policies, office setting

While both roles involve risk assessment, Catastrophe Risk specialists focus on modeling and analyzing large-scale disaster risks, whereas Property Underwriters evaluate individual property risks to determine insurance coverage. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job role within the insurance industry.

Job description

Location: Overland Park, KS (Kansas City Metro)
Employment Type: Full-time, In-Office
Department: Actuarial
Salary: Top of market salary + equity

Steadily is redefining landlord insurance. We are the market leader in tech-enabled coverage for real estate investors and we are bringing catastrophe risk modeling fully in house. This is not a maintenance role. This is a build-it role.

At Steadily, pricing sophistication is not theoretical; if you can dream it, we can build it. We own our stack, move quickly, and invest in analytics that directly shape the portfolio. When you join us, you will own catastrophe exposure end-to-end; transforming raw data, stochastic outputs, and climate signals into sharp, actionable intelligence that protects the balance sheet and drives strategy.

You will not be reporting on risk. You will be defining it.

This is a full-time, in-office role based in Overland Park, Kansas. A generous relocation package is available for out-of-state candidates.

What You’ll Do
  • Own Steadily’s catastrophe modeling cycle; deliver monthly high-fidelity loss estimates that directly inform pricing, capital planning, and growth strategy.

  • Detect and manage accumulation risk; identify geographic and peril “hot spots” and provide real-time diversification recommendations.

  • Lead during live CAT events; produce rapid loss assessments and brief leadership with clear, data-driven updates as events unfold.

  • Shape and validate reinsurance strategy; partner with Actuarial to design structures that mitigate tail risk while optimizing portfolio efficiency.

  • Integrate climate intelligence; embed climate change analytics and non-modeled perils such as wildfire and convective storm into our long-term risk framework.

  • Build Steadily’s proprietary View of Risk; define the methodology, governance, and outputs that guide underwriting and portfolio decisions.

  • Continuously elevate pricing sophistication; translate stochastic modeling, external data, and new analytics into sharper underwriting insight.

Your Background
  • Required

    • 5+ years of catastrophe modeling experience or risk management

    • Expertise with third-party catastrophe models (RMS, AIR, etc)

    • Expert level knowledge of natural weather perils

    • Strong technical, analytical, and communication skills — both written and verbal — with ability to engage stakeholders, regulators, and leadership

    Preferred

    • You’re excited about combining your experience with best in class technology to develop new ways of identifying risk.

    • Experience with SQL, Python, R, or geospatial tools

    • Certified Catastrophe Risk Analyst (CCRA), Certified Specialist in Catastrophe Risk (CSCR), or Certified Catastrophe Risk Management Professional (CCRMP)

Compensation and Benefits
  • Compensation: Top of market salary + equity

  • Equity: Includes equity in a fast-growing company

  • Time Off: 3 weeks PTO + 6 federal holidays

  • Insurance: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA, FSA

  • Retirement: 401(k)

  • Perks: Free snacks, team lunches, collaborative office culture

Location
  • Overland Park, KS

  • Relocation assistance available for out of state candidates.

  • Steadily is building a workplace environment of team members who are passionate and excited to be together in person. Our office is in Overland Park, and is key to our fast-paced growth trajectory.

Why Join Steadily
  • Good company. Our founders have three successful startups under their belt and have recruited a stellar team to match.

  • Top compensation. We pay at the top of the Kansas City market (see comp).

  • Growth opportunity: We’re an early-stage, fast-growing company where you’ll wear a lot of hats and shape product decisions.

  • Strong backing. We’re growing fast, we manage over $20 billion in risk, and we’re exceptionally well-funded.

  • Culture: Steadily boasts a very unique culture that our teammates love. We call it like we see it and we’re nothing if not candid. Plus, we love to have a good time. Check out our culture deck to learn what we’re all about.

  • Awards: We've been recognized both locally and nationally as a top place to work. Recently we were ranked 16th on Forbes' 2026 Best Startup Employers list, and 63rd on the prestigious Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list. We've also been recognized as one of the Best Landlord Insurance Companies in 2026 by CNBC, a Top 2025 Startup in Newsweek, in Investopedia's Best Landlord Insurance Companies, and we won Austin Business Journal's Best Places to Work in 2025.

We’re excited to meet you!
