Job Title: UK Catastrophe Risk Analyst

Aon is currently recruiting a Catastrophe Risk Analyst to join our UK Property Analytics team in London!
Aon's Catastrophe Analytics team is the best regarded of its kind in Europe. The team sits within Aon Reinsurance Solutions and provides clients (UK insurance companies, syndicates, and reinsurers) with advice on their underlying risks, and exposures to natural disasters such as windstorms, floods and earthquakes.
This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our London office.

You will assist in the evolution of Aon's UK Event Response solutions, calculating client's potential incurred losses, post-event and on risk management basis. The role will also require you to work closely with Aon's View of Risk advisory team to ensure best practice for catastrophe modelling for the UK, and liaise with Impact Forecasting and the development of their new catastrophe models.
