This process is ideally a collaboration between the pricer and the underwriter to establish a consistent and wholistic view of the client and the reinsurance contract and how it fits into the overall reinsurance portfolio. In addition, the individual will participate in projects to help shape and define the company's view of risk in the region. This will involve research and analysis around the topics of economic trends, social inflation, portfolio profitability monitoring, etc. This will be done collaboratively with experts in the team and stakeholders throughout the company including the Cat pricing team, reserving, underwriting, business analytics and more.

  • Perform individual reinsurance deal pricing analyses and collaborate with underwriters to understand the client and form a view of risk
  • Meet with clients and brokers. Participate in underwriting audits. Communicate SCOR's view of risk to internal and external stakeholders
  • Complete annual parameter studies and updates for Global pricing models
  • Monitor profitability of the portfolio. Adjust parameters and methodologies accordingly
  • Complete segment analyses, industry studies, and other various actuarial related projects and studies as needed.
  • Collaborate closely with the natural catastrophe pricing team on topics of common interest, in particular pricing provisions and methodologies for convective storm and hurricane losses
  • Work with stakeholders globally to design automated and semi-automated processes to deliver our work product more efficiently
  • Define appropriate experience rating and cedent-specific model adjustment methodologies to tailor treaty loss analyses to the specific risk
  • Implement tools, methods, and processes to allow low/medium risk reinsurance treaties to be priced and analyzed in a streamlined way
