  • Conduct deep-dive analyses using both internal and external data to uncover trends and performance drivers and regularly communicate key findings to Underwriting leadership and other stakeholders.
  • Assist in operational productivity measurement tracking and provide insights into staffing decisions.
  • Partner with the Underwriting Excellence team to tailor analytics solutions that inform risk appetite and portfolio decisions.
  • Present summaries of your work to Underwriting Leaders and other stakeholders in a clear and professional manner.
  • Ensure consistency in data definitions, methodologies, and reporting across the Underwriting organization and align with enterprise-wide data governance standards.
  • Mentor junior analysts and contribute to analytical knowledge sharing within the team.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to extract insights from complex datasets and translate them into business value
  • Advanced SQL skills with experience working with large, relational databases. Python is preferred but not required.
  • Proficiency in data visualization tools, such as Tableau or Power BI, and ability to design intuitive, self-service dashboards
  • Understanding of underwriting, insurance, or risk analytics with experience in property & casualty insurance is highly preferred
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and influence decision-making
  • Strong attention to detail, particularly when it comes to data accuracy, consistency, and documentation
  • Ability to work collaboratively across teams - especially with underwriters, data engineering teams, and company leadership
  • Demonstrated level of curiosity with a track record of taking initiative and driving projects from concept to execution with minimal oversight
  • Commitment to continuous learning and mentorship, contributing to a culture of knowledge sharing within the Underwriting Analytics team
  • Bachelor's degree in an analytical field, including but not limited to Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Actuarial Science, or Data Science
The base salary for this role can range from $70,000 to $90,000 based on a full-time work schedule.
