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

Professionals in catastrophe risk management often face challenges such as analyzing large and complex datasets, staying updated on evolving climate risks, and communicating technical findings to non-experts. They must balance the urgency of responding to disasters with the need for thorough risk assessment and mitigation planning. Collaboration across teams—such as claims, underwriting, and actuarial—is essential, and adapting to new modeling technologies is a regular part of the job.

What are catastrophe jobs?

Catastrophe jobs typically refer to roles involved in responding to and managing the aftermath of large-scale disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods. These positions often include catastrophe adjusters, risk analysts, emergency managers, and claims specialists who assess damages, help coordinate disaster response efforts, and process insurance claims. People in catastrophe jobs work for insurance companies, government agencies, or disaster recovery organizations, and often travel to affected areas on short notice. Their work is crucial in helping individuals and businesses recover after catastrophic events.

What is the difference between Catastrophe vs Claims Adjuster?

Required CredentialsInsurance licenses, certifications in catastrophe managementInsurance licenses, certifications in claims handling
Work EnvironmentDisaster sites, fieldwork after large-scale eventsOffice, fieldwork at claim sites
Industry UsageInsurance, disaster responseInsurance, claims processing
Common Search/ComparisonYesNo

While both roles are within the insurance industry, a Catastrophe specialist focuses on managing large-scale disaster claims and coordinating response efforts after major events. A Claims Adjuster handles individual claims, assessing damages and determining payouts. The key difference lies in scope: Catastrophe roles deal with widespread disasters, requiring specialized knowledge and fieldwork, whereas Claims Adjusters handle everyday claims at a more localized level.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Catastrophe Analyst, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Catastrophe Analyst, you need strong analytical abilities, a background in mathematics, statistics or environmental science, and often a relevant bachelor's degree. Familiarity with catastrophe modeling software (like RMS or AIR), GIS systems, and proficiency in data analysis tools such as SQL or Python is typically required. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are vital for translating complex data into actionable insights. These skills are crucial for accurately assessing risk, supporting insurance decisions, and improving organizational preparedness for natural or man-made disasters.

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.
