  • Coordinating with Group Accumulation Management team (Research and Development) and others on the technical aspects of catastrophe loss modelling
  • Liaising with customer-facing colleagues from Zurich Resilience Solutions for the implementation of the models & communication of output, including through visualization tools, documentation and thought leadership
  • Monitoring global sustainability regulations and frameworks to identify needs in terms of climate-related financial metrics

What you bring

As Catastrophe Modelling Specialist your skills and qualifications will ideally include:

  • Master Degree in a quantitative field - natural/environmental/atmospheric science, mathematics, physics or statistics
  • Good understanding of Climate Change and Natural Hazards science, models, and their practical implementation
  • At least 3 years of experience using cat modelling tools (incl. open source) preferably in the finance or insurance industry
  • Hands on experience on data modelling, analytics and visualization tools (e.g. Python, Power BI, MATLAB, SQL, etc) as well as strong statistical and analytical skills.
  • Experience in applying machine learning techniques and modelling large data sets is beneficial.
  • Consulting experience is a plus, i.e. commercially oriented with an ability to identify opportunities for providing services
