Job Description
We are seeking a highly analytical and forward-thinking Risk & Actuarial AI Expert to join our growing team. This role sits at the intersection of actuarial science, risk management, and advanced analytics, leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance decision-making across insurance and risk portfolios.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in actuarial principles combined with hands-on experience in data science, enabling the transformation of complex risk data into actionable insights. You will play a central role in evaluating and optimizing portfolio performance through detailed loss ratio and combined ratio analysis, monitoring trends, and providing recommendations to improve underwriting profitability.
Furthermore, you will conduct comprehensive portfolio risk assessments using statistical models and AI-driven techniques, identifying risk concentrations and supporting strategic decisions. A significant part of the role will focus on catastrophe modeling and exposure management, enhancing traditional approaches with machine learning for improved prediction accuracy.
Leveraging modern AI/ML techniques to automate actuarial workflows, improve predictive modeling, and uncover hidden patterns in large datasets will be key. You will design and implement models that enhance pricing, reserving, and risk selection processes, with experience in Python, R, and cloud-based analytics platforms being valuable.
