Overview
Catastrophe Modelers quantify catastrophe loss potential of risk exposures carried by different entities, especially Insurers.
The incumbent will be responsible for modeling insurance exposures for large, complex insurance books having complex insurance and/or reinsurance terms using leading catastrophe models like RMS RiskLink, AIR Touchstone, CoreLogic RQE as well as proprietary WTW models.
This includes preparing the data for analysis, data scrubbing as well as data mining, generating probabilistic loss estimates using catastrophe models, creating and visualizing exposure and loss summaries, conducting loss feasibility studies to validate modeled losses, estimating the impact of model change, optimizing the reinsurance structure, etc. It also includes serving as the epicenter of all modeling action by coordinating between different offices and stakeholders in order to ensure modeling and client satisfaction goals are met.
The ability to lead modeling efforts for top clients and finding innovative and bespoke solutions to complex problems is a key expectation at this level. The candidate is expected to use very advanced Catastrophe Modeling expertise in order to tackle any kind of challenge and guide other team members as and when needed. The right candidate should be skilled at training junior analysts and reviewing their work.
Project planning/management and complex problem solving are some of the key skills needed in this role. The incumbent will be expected to continuously upskill themselves and do value add to the process/projects on a consistent basis.
The candidate is expected to work on projects that include dynamic deliverables with shifting timelines, involving multiple stakeholders. The models and technology are also continuously evolving. As such, the candidate should display great alacrity and agility and should be an excellent team player who can adapt to changing circumstances and the dynamic nature of demands/challenges.
The incumbent will be responsible for leading renewal, intermittent and RFP modeling on highly complex accounts; the modeling span typically ranges from 6 weeks for entry level accounts for this position to 6 months for top accounts.
How You'll Make An Impact
- Model input preparation - Includes data preparation as well as data scrubbing using SQL/Excel.
- Analyzing the exposures - Includes geocoding the exposures, implementing modeling assumptions accurately in the modeling process, ensuring correct model and peril settings, etc. in order to quantify insurers catastrophe loss potential.
- Generating reports - Includes using internal tools like iFM, WorkFlowManager for creating exposure as well as loss summary reports, visualizing various statistics by creating maps using SpatiaKey, ArcGIS, etc.
- Running proprietary models - Running customized peril analysis using WTW proprietary models.
- Model Sensitivity Analysis - Testing the change in model output with change in input parameters.
- Answering SRQ - using internal tools and modeled losses for answering Natural Catastrophe as well as Terrorism portions of SRQs.
- Validating losses - conducting loss feasibility studies to validate modeled losses.
- Model change management - stay updated with changes in models and conduct studies to estimate the impact on modeled client losses.
- Leading RFPs - Utilize the extensive modeling experience in leading RFPs where prospects usually do not share any data.
- Optimizing reinsurance - Model different reinsurance structures to identify the optimum structure in order to maximize client profitability.
- Mentoring - Mentor specific junior analysts in the team dedicatedly in order to minimize their learning curve.
- Training - Participate in training programs in order to train new recruits.
- Knowledge share - Conduct regular knowledge share sessions within and/or outside the team
- Leading eVENT Response - help coordinate the live eVENT response, generating reports and managing client interactions on timely basis
- discuss the progress made as well as any items of significance
- seek feedback and suggestions
