• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a growing and evolving function.
• Familiarity with CAT modeling, portfolio monitoring, rate adequacy, exposure accumulation, or related profitability indicators preferred.
• Ability to utilize AI tools to support day-to-day tasks, improve efficiency, and contribute to data-driven decision-making.
