*Overview:*

If you're looking for the stability of a profitable, growing company with
the entrepreneurial spirit of a startup, we’re hiring. SageSure, a leader
in catastrophe-exposed property insurance, is seeking a *Senior Catastrophe
Risk Analyst.*

In this role, you’ll play a critical part in advancing the scientific,
statistical, and model-based understanding of catastrophe risk across
perils such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, and severe
convective storms. You’ll support the development and evaluation of
catastrophe models, enhance internal risk views, and deliver insights to
inform underwriting, portfolio management, and reinsurance strategy.



*What you’d be doing:*

   - Evaluate third-party catastrophe models (e.g., RMS, Verisk, CoreLogic)
   and contribute to the development of internal risk views.
   - Analyze large datasets (e.g., exposure data, claims data, hazard data)
   to assess model performance, validate assumptions, and identify improvement
   areas.
   - Conduct claims analysis, event response, and post-event analytics.
   - Support integration of climate science and emerging research into
   catastrophe risk analytics.
   - Collaborate with internal stakeholders (underwriting, actuarial,
   reinsurance, risk, and data science teams) to apply research findings to
   business decisions.
   - Design and implement tools, frameworks, or methodologies that
   improve model transparency and interpretability.
   - Monitor and interpret academic, regulatory, and industry
   developments in catastrophe risk science and modeling.
   - Ad hoc job duties as assigned.



*We’re looking for someone who has:*

   - Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in Atmospheric
   Science, Hydrology, Earth Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics,
   Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
   - 5+ years of experience in catastrophe modeling, natural hazard risk
   research, insurance analytics, or a related field.
   - Proficiency with catastrophe modeling platforms (RMS, Verisk, AIR,
   etc.).
   - Strong coding and data analysis skills (e.g., Python, R, SQL).
   - Experience working with geospatial data and tools (e.g., GIS, QGIS,
   ArcGIS).
   - Familiarity with stochastic simulation, probabilistic risk modeling,
   and related statistical methods.
   - Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills.
   - Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex
   concepts to non-technical audiences.
   - Proven ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional,
   research-driven environments.



 *Highly preferred candidates also have:*

   - Experience in the (re)insurance, ILS, consulting, or catastrophe model
   vendor environment.
   - Experience developing internal catastrophe models or integrating
   third-party models into portfolio management workflows.
   - Familiarity with climate risk modeling and emerging methodologies in
   catastrophe risk R&D.
   - Demonstrated track record of publishing or presenting research in the
   field of natural hazard modeling or risk analytics.
