Lead Catastrophe Modeler & Analytics Specialist

Description

Ledgebrook is an AI-native specialty insurance platform. When a business needs coverage that is custom and complex, its broker comes to us, and our underwriters give them an answer, often in hours rather than weeks.

We built our technology from scratch, with AI in it from the first line of code. The technology helps price the risk; the underwriter uses their judgment to decide. There are always two hands on the wheel.

We are insurance industry insiders, and we eat our own cooking: Ledgebrook writes the policy and shares the risk through our own carrier, Ledgebrook Specialty, rated A- (Excellent) by AM Best. We work exclusively through wholesale brokers.

Our vision: to make the wheels of insurance spin faster.

At Ledgebrook, everything we do is driven by our culture: Care, Strive, Thrive Together. To succeed in modernizing the industry, we must first succeed in changing the way we do business. Talent density is our north star-fewer, better people working together as one. To that end we’ve replaced all individual incentives with generous equity packages-we play as a team, we win as a team. Everyone benefits handsomely from Ledgebrook’s success.

About the Role

Ledgebrook is seeking an experienced Catastrophe Modeler & Analytics Specialist to join our Property Pricing team. On this team, you’ll model our property risks and help monitor portfolio exposure to catastrophe events.

You will report to our Head of Property Pricing and collaborate with engineering, data excellence, pricing and analytics, finance, and underwriting to help communicate risk as we work to build our property portfolio consisting of traditional / shared and layered property and inland marine.

What You’ll Do:

• Model individual E&S property submissions: Use Moody’s RMS model to deliver timely loss metrics (AAL, PML) to underwriters.
• Model and monitor aggregate accumulations: Run the entire portfolio through catastrophe models to track tail values at risk as well as average annual losses.
• Support exposure data quality: Clean and enhance submission exposure data, set data standards, and build automated validations to catch issues before modeling.
• Set up, streamline and automate CAT modeling workflows: Develop and oversee automated pipelines that move submissions from raw exposure data to modeled results quickly and reliably.
• Build portfolio analytics: Develop dashboards and analyses in Power BI, Python, and SQL that track exposure, accumulations, and portfolio performance across the Property and Inland Marine book.
• Partner across the business: Collaborate closely with Capital Modeling, Finance, Actuarial, and Data Engineering to embed cat insights into pricing, reinsurance, and capital decisions.
• Communicate risk clearly: Translate complex model output into actionable insights and present technical analysis to underwriters and executive stakeholders.

• A Solution-Oriented Outlook: When things go wrong, you don’t look for blame-you immediately focus on how to fix it.
• Transparent Communication: You value honesty, clarity, and open feedback.
• Team-First Energy: You want to win together as a high-performing team and actively build connections across our remote locations.
