• Portfolio Management: Contribute to the management of the reinsurance portfolio by providing risk assessments and insights to underwriters.
• Scenario Development: Develop and analyze custom scenarios to assess potential impacts of specific events or changes in exposure.
• Model Validation & Development: Participate in the validation and enhancement of catastrophe models, including model parameterization and calibration.

• Collaboration: Collaborate with underwriters, actuaries, and other departments to provide comprehensive risk assessments.
• Research & Development: Stay abreast of industry trends, new modeling techniques, and emerging risks. Participate in projects to help shape and define the company's view of risk for natural catastrophe perils.
