About the Role

This means independently structuring and pricing complex treaties, driving portfolio profitability reviews with actionable underwriting recommendations, and ensuring our pricing methodology stays ahead of cyber insurance developments and market shifts.

Beyond the technical work, you will be a key voice in shaping how we communicate risk and pricing strategy to senior leadership, underwriting, and external partners — translating complex analyses into clear, confident recommendations.
