- Work with the Research team to develop proprietary risk scoring datasets (e.g. using open-source geospatial data) for qualitative assessment of natural catastrophe hazard to deliver enhanced pricing and portfolio insight.
- Support the development of code pipelines to allow underwriters and senior stakeholders to view their natural catastrophe portfolio of exposures on different views of risk (e.g. climate conditioned views) consistent with the latest scientific research.
- Develop code to translate natural catastrophe simulated loss outputs into various forms required throughout the business (Capital, Active Portfolio Management).
- Work with the core Exposure Management team to help develop novel tools to enhance accuracy and consistency of natural catastrophe pricing outputs and reduce manual workloads through Python/SQL solutions.
