What Is the Opportunity?

At Travelers, we’re in the business of risk – we take the risk so our customers don’t have to, but we don’t like surprises. Our Catastrophe Risk Management team makes sure we understand our exposure and ensures that no loss from natural or man-made catastrophes, across all areas of our business (property and casualty), comes as a surprise.

You’ll be excited by understanding complex processes and modernising them using contemporary techniques and tooling (knowledge of Python, KNIME, Databricks, or equivalent is an advantage), ultimately turning highly complex catastrophe data into actionable insights. This position is ideal for someone with an aggregation data entry background looking to move into CAT Risk and learn modern data analysis techniques, or for a STEM graduate eager to gain hands-on data experience and learn the ropes.
