Partner with underwriters, data scientists, engineers, and security experts to develop scalable, data-driven solutions for reinsurance decision-making.
Communicate portfolio risk and pricing strategy clearly to senior leadership and external partners while building trusted relationships with brokers and cedants.

Strong knowledge of actuarial pricing, reinsurance treaty structures, cash-flow modeling, and risk/return evaluation.
Experience leading complex initiatives and setting standards for pricing models, methodology, governance, or portfolio analytics.

Strong communication and influencing skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
Proven ability to build credibility and trust with senior leaders, underwriters, brokers, cedants, and cross-functional partners.
Exceptional attention to detail, particularly in data quality, documentation, metrics, and model version control.
