Position Summary :
You will support the data management and natural catastrophe analysis of a specialized Fund Manager with a focus on insurance-linked investments (e.g., natural catastrophe bonds and collateralized reinsurance). You will be responsible for the submission intake and natural catastrophe modeling for each investment by accurately processing and analyzing data while meeting tight timelines.
You will be part of an international team of specialists working in the challenging and fascinating world of alternative risk transfer at the confluence of insurance and the capital markets. You will learn how natural catastrophe reinsurance investments are analyzed and how financial risk from hurricanes, earthquakes, and other perils is quantified.


Position Responsibility:
  • Support the Portfolio Management team’s analysis of reinsurance-linked investments by taking responsibility for submission intake and natural catastrophe modelling.
  • Download data for each investment under consideration; clean, organize, and analyze the data; populate summaries of the data and upload them to our systems; interpret results; identify and address missing data or other data quality issues.
  • Use Excel and other applications to handle complicated datasets, perform basic statistical analysis, and aggregate information.

  • Software skills:

o Experience in handling data using basic SQL queries.
o Any previous experience with the vendor models TouchstoneRe and/or Miu Insights would be beneficial but is not a pre-requisite.

  • Having a proactive, positive energy with the ability to collaborate with specialists across various backgrounds, cultures, and locations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
