• Ensure pricing reflects risk-adjusted returns, market conditions, and underwriting objectives.

Analytics & Modeling Integration

• Translate catastrophe model outputs (e.g., RMS, AIR) into actionable pricing metrics and underwriting guidance.

• Oversee CAT load development, technical pricing assumptions, and pricing segmentation.

• Drive enhancements in data, modeling techniques, and pricing tools.

Portfolio & Risk Management

• Partner with underwriting and exposure management to monitor CAT accumulation and portfolio risk.

• Lead analysis of rate adequacy, profitability, and CAT return metrics.

• Support portfolio optimization decisions (limits, attachment points, deductibles, sublimits).

Business Partnership

• Provide pricing insights and recommendations to underwriting leadership to support deal-level decisions.

• Act as a trusted advisor on CAT risk, pricing, and portfolio trade-offs.

• Collaborate across functions including underwriting, reinsurance pricing, reserving, and CAT modeling.

Reinsurance & Planning

• Support annual reinsurance placement and planning by providing CAT pricing and portfolio analytics.

• Contribute to capital allocation and risk appetite discussions.

Team Leadership

• Manage and develop a team of actuaries and analysts focused on CAT pricing. 

• Foster a high-performance culture with strong technical expertise and business alignment.

• Mentor talent across actuarial and catastrophe functions.

Innovation & Tools

• Improve speed-to-market and pricing efficiency through partnerships with technology and insurtech providers.

• Lead modernization of pricing platforms and CAT pricing capabilities.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of actuarial experience in property pricing.

• Deep expertise in catastrophe modeling platforms (e.g., RMS, AIR) and CAT risk concepts.

• Proven experience integrating CAT modeling into pricing and portfolio decisions.

• Strong leadership experience managing actuarial or analytics teams.

• Advanced proficiency in analytics tools (SQL, Python/R preferred).

• Experience working cross-functionally with underwriting, exposure management, and reinsurance teams.

Key Skills & Competencies

• Strategic thinking with ability to translate analytics into business action.

• Strong communication skills—able to convey complex CAT/pricing concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• Expertise in portfolio management, risk-return optimization, and pricing governance.

• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment with competing priorities.
