Valayo are working with a leading global reinsurance business on an opportunity within their Specialty CAT Analytics team, working across multiple lines of Specialty classes, including, but not limited to, Terrorism, Marine and Energy and much more.

They’re very open-minded on background. You could already be working in Specialty, but equally they’re interested in people from Property CAT, Exposure Management / Risk Aggregation or a non-reinsurance background who want to broaden their experience.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The key requirement is good experience with RMS/Moody’s and/or AIR/Verisk.

What particularly stands out is the flexibility around the individual and their career path:

  • Work across a much broader range of Specialty classes and global portfolios
  • Exposure to an advanced suite of sophisticated vendor models
  • Opportunity for increased broker and client exposure, including meetings, technical discussions and eventually RFPs
  • Equally, the option to remain more technically/modelling focused if that’s where your strengths and interests lie
  • Lead modelling projects and contribute to the development of new analytical solutions
  • Support and mentor junior analysts

The team doesn't want to force everyone down the same career path; the role is shaped around the individual.

For someone coming from traditional Property CAT, this is a great opportunity to move into a much broader and more varied range of Specialty risks, models and analytical tools.

This role is based in London.
