Risk Modeller - Catastrophe / Climate / Data Scientist
Are you a skilled Risk Modeller ready to drive innovation in climate risk analysis? My client, a purpose-driven tech company in central London, is searching for a talented Catastrophe Risk Modeller to join its research-driven, high-impact team.
Why Join?
* £65k-£85k base + full benefits, 36+ days leave, 1k training conference budget and more
* Relocation assistance
* Play a central part in tackling the risks of climate change
* Direct impact on the development of global-scale loss models
* Modern, collaborative environment with a hybrid London office (three days onsite)
* Generous benefits: £1,000 annual training & conference budget, annual leave, mental health support, and more
* Company supports relocation (including visa sponsorship and a relocation allowance) for the right candidate
The Company
My client is an industry leader building advanced models to quantify the physical and financial risks associated with climate change. With a diverse, dynamic team based in London, the company combines statistics, data science, and real-world climate observation to help global clients manage and mitigate their climate-related exposures. Its culture is founded on technical excellence, inclusivity, development, and real-world impact.
The Role
* Full lifecycle of building, testing and calibrating (not just analysts doing validation and calibration, and not just solely building)
* Not just using RMS, actually coding and building loss models with hazard model inputs
* Research, implement, and champion advanced loss models that quantify climate-related risks
* Calibrate and validate models using qualitative and quantitative techniques, ensuring scientific rigor
* Contribute to the design and evolution of a scalable loss modelling framework serving diverse geographies and use cases
* Work closely with geospatial and financial loss datasets, blending observation data with model output at local to global scales
* Document models, present results, and represent the team at stakeholder meetings, conferences, and industry events
Essential Requirements
* Demonstrable experience in building and calibrating catastrophe / loss models (ideally across multiple perils)
* Specific coding experience without relying on Moody's RMS.
* Proficiency working with geospatial/earth observation data AND large economic or financial loss datasets
* Programming expertise in Python and R
* Excellent communication, with the ability to make complex models accessible for non-technical stakeholders
Visa sponsorship will ONLY be available if ALL the above requirements are met.
What Will Make You Stand Out
* Advanced catastrophe modelling knowledge, especially in exposure/vulnerability domains
* Applied statistical skills in uncertainty quantification, Bayesian statistics, or Extreme Value Theory
* Machine learning experience related to climate risk or catastrophe modelling
* Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud
