Our client is looking to hire two Analysts to support their growing underwriting function, with an initial focus on Property reinsurance. This is a broad analytical role within a lean team, working directly with experienced underwriting and investment professionals across pricing, catastrophe modelling, risk analysis and portfolio analytics. The role will include a variety of product lines, including traditional reinsurance, retro, ILS, ILWs, etc.
Prior reinsurance experience is valuable but not essential.
We are looking for exceptional analytical and technical potential: people who can learn quickly, work carefully with data, and develop into increasingly independent underwriting analysts.
The work will include:
- Support the analysis and pricing of Property reinsurance opportunities, including treaty reinsurance and more structured risks.
- Analyse submission data, historical loss experience, exposures, and contract terms to help develop a clear view of risk and return.
- Assist with catastrophe modelling, exposure analysis, scenario testing, and portfolio aggregation, including work in Verisk/AIR and Moody's RMS where relevant.
- Build clear underwriting analysis and decision materials, with assumptions, sensitivities, and key risk drivers made explicit.
- Support the underwriting team through renewals and the downstream life of risks, including portfolio monitoring and event response.
- Build and improve analytical tools and workflows using Excel, Python, and modern AI-assisted development tools.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
This is first and foremost an analytical hire. We care more about the quality, technical aptitude, and trajectory of the individual than a rigid amount of experience. We want strong Excel skills and familiarity with Python or another analytical programming language. We value exposure to Property reinsurance pricing, catastrophe modelling, or tools such as Verisk/AIR or Moody's RMS.
