Everest Reinsurance Company (Ireland), Dac (Zurich Branch)
Job Category:
Underwriting
Job Description:
Are you interested in a career in underwriting? This is a fantastic opportunity for smart, intuitive, inquisitive minds to join a leading global financial organization that is genuinely passionate about the development of our entry level employees and future leaders. We pride ourselves on nurturing talent and kick-starting lifelong careers in a professional, exciting, and long-standing industry.
For 50 years, Everest has been a global leader in reinsurance with a broad, international footprint and deep, long-term, profitable client relationships. We have a reputation for underwriting excellence, and we focus on delivering responsive client service and customized solutions. We are ranked in the Top Ten Reinsurers worldwide. This is a huge financial services and risk management industry and Everest Re is a key player.
This open position provides hands-on learning with an opportunity to work alongside some of the best reinsurance professionals in the market within underwriting, actuarial, data analysis and claims.
So, what is reinsurance?
Essentially, it's the insurance of insurance. Our clients are insurance companies who need additional protection for the risks they assume. But this additional protection is not for the standard car, home, and pet coverage you might think of when you hear the word 'insurance'. Here at Everest, we reinsure special, high- value or high-risk businesses and industries across different classes of insurance such as Aviation, Property, Engineering, Public and Employers' Liability, Professional Indemnity, Medical Malpractice, Accident & Health, Contingency and Cyber.......
When the worst happens, a policyholder is reliant on their Insurer to help them recover and move forward. But what happens when a hurricane hits the USA, a major music festival is cancelled or a CEO's ill-timed tweet plunges a company's share price? Thematic events like this can result in huge losses for Insurers and that is where reinsurance comes in. Reinsurers like Everest Re not only pay claims at the time of loss; more importantly, we provide business continuity.
What is the role of a Reinsurance Underwriter?
The job of the reinsurance underwriter is to assess and select risks. The underwriter's role is both technical and commercial as the underwriter must determine how much risk to assume and at what cost, what are best terms and conditions of coverage, as well as negotiate and sell the deal to our broker clients.
The actuaries are crucial in helping us achieve a profitable portfolio through analysis of numerical data and trends and determining appropriate risk-adjusted prices. Actuaries also work to determine how much we should "reserve" for current and future losses.
Our claims executives evaluate claims to determine if coverage applies and what the final indemnity should be to adequately compensate for the loss, which is the ultimate purpose of insurance and reinsurance.
The successful candidate will report to the head of western Europe and assist the Underwriting team with the following.
Responsibilities include but not limited to:
- Underwriting support and analysis work for the underwriting teams:
- Trip preparation and trip follow up
