About the Role

The Cat and Geo modelling team is part of Swiss Re's global in-house natural catastrophe modelling unit 'Cat Perils'. We create value for Swiss Re by driving confident Nat Cat decisions.
With our proprietary modelling technology for natural catastrophe perils, we bring latest science to underwriting decision-making, working closely with peers in re/insurance underwriting and further support our business in all matters related to natural catastrophe risk.
