About the Graduate Program/Role

As a graduate you’ll build a diverse and relevant career – learning our business, discovering your career growth opportunities, and continuing to develop your skills for years to come. Starting in September 2026, you'll join an international cohort of Moody’s Insurance Solutions graduates. You'll begin with a month-long training program, learning from our network of leading developers, scientists, product managers, customer success practitioners, and clients. Following this, you'll participate in our rotation program, gaining direct experience across various teams and disciplines. Through your rotations you will enhance your knowledge of our products, how they are built, the companies who use them, and how they get value and insight from them. Your work will span our products and markets, developing technical skills and knowledge, problem-solving skills, and communication skills.

As a Graduate in the Model Development Program: Analysts in the team work closely with other hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and financial modelers to quantify the loss potential of extreme climate events and to ensure the accuracy, efficiency, and appropriateness of the final modelling product. This role will perform research and development work in climate events and their extreme behaviour, including tropical cyclones, inland and coastal floods, severe and winter weather, chronic and acute climate change, and so on. Our graduates build experience through rotations across other development teams including hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and financial modelers – all teams we collaborate with closely to ensure the accuracy, efficiency, and appropriateness of the final modelling product.

The rotation program further provides the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the wider Insurance Solutions model offering, including stochastic modelling solutions which forecast financial and economic variables (e.g. interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, equity indices, bond returns, property prices) for a wide variety of applications across life/general insurance, asset management, and wealth/pension industries.
