About the Job
The pricing exercise is a complex analytical process requiring technical expertise and judgement. Cedent loss history, modelled results, market knowledge and individual account characteristics must be weighed and a final range of outcomes and point estimate of account profitability are arrived upon.
This process is ideally a collaboration between the pricer and the underwriter to establish a consistent and wholistic view of the client and the reinsurance contract and how it fits into the overall reinsurance portfolio. In addition, the individual will participate in projects to help shape and define the company's view of risk in the region. This will involve research and analysis around the topics of economic trends, social inflation, portfolio profitability monitoring, etc. This will be done collaboratively with experts in the team and stakeholders throughout the company including the Cat pricing team, reserving, underwriting, business analytics and more.
