The San Francisco Tri-State Property and Casualty practice, comprised of about 50 employees, represents a wide range of expertise, with abundant opportunities to develop and apply actuarial and complementary skills such as data science and geospatial analysis. We work on some of today’s most important insurance problems, including climate resilience and telematics. We consult with insurance carriers, reinsurers, and self-insureds on loss reserving and pricing. We also build predictive models and innovative insurance products for traditional and start-up insurers, as well as the associated state regulatory rate filing support.
What You Will Do
We are ready to add a highly experienced GIS and Climate Analytics Manager to our team, who will lead and expand our geospatial and climate consulting practice within the insurance industry.
