Job description

erroneous results. Establish and conduct vetting processes that assure the
most reliable results. Provide exposure analysis to various other units, such
as the Reinsurance Department and Departmental Management. Conduct
“what-if” analyses to determine the impact of various underwriting changes.

In collaboration with Research, assure an understanding of model revisions,
the impact to measured results and recommend actions to adjust company
procedures as appropriates.

Identify trends in our changing exposure, highlight them to managers, and
implement process modifications to adapt to them.

Develop and deliver jurisdictional reporting as needed in a timely manner
(e.g., California Department of Insurance and Canadian, Australian
government exposure reporting).

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's Degree (preferably a B.S.)
  • >10 years of computer experience along with underwriting and/or catastrophe analysis experience.

The final salary offer will vary based on geographic location, individual education, skills, and experience.
