About Us

IQUW is a speciality (re)insurer at Lloyd’s (Syndicate 1856) underwriting a diverse range of Property, Commercial and Speciality (re)insurance products from Cargo and Marine to Political Violence, Terror and War. We combine data, intelligent automation and human expertise to make smart decisions, fast.

ERS is the UK's largest specialist motor insurer with an A+ rating. We recognise that for some, motor insurance is more than just a must-have; it's a way of taking care of what stands at the heart of their passion or livelihood. For those people, standard insurance isn't enough. That's why we work exclusively with motor insurance brokers to help get under the skin of the most difficult insurance risks, helping build products to meet their customer’s needs.

IQUW Group has a hybrid working model that offers flexibility while maintaining opportunities for collaboration and connection with colleagues in person.

Our hybrid working model will consist of 3 days per week in the office and 2 days working remotely.

Teams can coordinate specific in-office days to support collaboration and flexibility.

The role

The Senior Exposure Analyst - Geospatial is a role supporting the Exposure Management Team as IQUW continues to expand its underwriting of Specialty, Commercial and Reinsurance business.

The successful candidate will be focussed on developing best-in-class analytics on our portfolios, supporting underwriting teams to make efficient use of their available capital and manage their exposures.

The role will have a specific focus on utilising the candidate’s geospatial analysis skills. This will suit an analytically minded individual with skills in coding, exposure modelling, geospatial analysis and an interest in data visualisation.

It is a unique opportunity to work in a rapidly evolving and fast-growing environment, where exposure management and analytics are at the core of our business.

We are looking for an individual who will bring a strong expertise and contribute to the development of robust and innovative analytics to drive IQUW to achieve a highly profitable and optimised portfolio.

• Support the delivery of regulatory exposure management reports to ensure submission requirements and deadlines are met.
• Develop analytics to inform outwards reinsurance strategy and contribute to reinsurance data submissions. This will involve representation of the portfolio via multiple alternate views of risk.
• Involvement in ad-hoc projects to continue to enhance Exposure Management capabilities throughout IQUW.

• Experience working in a Catastrophe Modelling / Exposure Management team.
• Strong written and face to face communication skills.
• Strong knowledge of how catastrophe models work, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to draw maximum value from their results.
• Experience working with outwards reinsurance structures and how portfolio recoveries should be allocated back to source business units.
  
  
  

• Strong analytical, quantitative, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills
• Strong critical thinking skills, an ability to question assumptions and challenge proposals.
