• Experience working with data, analytics, and model engineering teams

• Demonstrated ability to turn business needs into technical requirements and documentation

• Experience working cross-functionally across business and engineering teams

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, especially with non-technical users

• Proficient with documentation tools (e.g., Confluence) and workflow tools (e.g., Jira)

• Strong critical thinking and structured problem-solving skills

• High attention to detail, organization, and follow-through

• Self-starter, quick learner, and creative problem solver that thrives in a flexible, fast paced, and remote work environment 

Optional Experience, Education, and Skills: 

• Experience within P&C insurance with focus on insurance data, pricing, underwriting, claims, or analytics

• Experience with rating-related solutions (e.g., pricing/portfolio tools, rating engine, raters, etc.)

• High familiarity with technical topics (e.g., software development, data engineering, model deployment, Python, Git, Snowflake, etc.) is a plus

• Exposure to rater governance, rating data model, reinsurer treaty reporting, renewal rate monitoring, or audit scenarios

Disclosures:
