Senior Catastrophe Risk Analyst - Direct Modeling

The Senior Catastrophe Risk Analyst will support primary insurance underwriting operations through modeling insurance exposure data and providing analytical insight into results. The analyst will be tasked with understanding the particulars of each insurance submission and tailoring workflow to best suit the modeling requirements.
