The San Francisco Tri-State Property and Casualty practice, comprised of about 50 employees, represents a wide range of expertise, with abundant opportunities to develop and apply actuarial and complementary skills such as data science and geospatial analysis. We work on some of today’s most important insurance problems, including climate resilience and telematics. We consult with insurance carriers, reinsurers, and self-insureds on loss reserving and pricing. We also build predictive models and innovative insurance products for traditional and start-up insurers, as well as the associated state regulatory rate filing support.
What You Will Do
We are ready to add a highly experienced GIS and Climate Analytics Manager to our team, who will lead and expand our geospatial and climate consulting practice within the insurance industry. In this role, you’ll leverage your scientific knowledge, programming expertise, and your insurance industry experience to lead teams of geospatial professionals, data scientists, and actuarial analysts on a variety of projects related to geospatial data, climate risk, and insurance.
This new role is a pivot point between overseeing technical, business development, and management aspects of our geospatial and climate analytics work and external-facing responsibilities, with a focus on supporting existing federal contracts and high-impact insurance consulting projects. You will report to the lead Principal & GIS Consultant and directly supervise a small team. Our ideal candidate will have deep subject matter expertise in insurance, hands-on experience with catastrophe and climate modeling, and a proven track record of leading geospatial projects.
