The global geopolitical landscape has been incredibly volatile in recent years.

Our underwriters use innovative methods to write profitable business while maintaining a high-quality product for our clients. The insights provided by the Exposure Management function are integral to risk selection and portfolio optimisation.

Within Exposure Management, the Crisis Management team uses exposure capture and reporting systems to provide analysis on MS Amlin's Political Violence and Political Risk classes. These insights enable Executives and Underwriters to make informed decisions that drive overall profitability and achieve strategic targets.

• Collaborate with the underwriters to build out new reports and tools, supporting them at the point of underwriting, and improving their visibility on the exposure profile across all perils.
• Work with Genpact (our outsourced support team) to streamline processes, assist in report production, and contribute commentary.
• Contribute to proactive portfolio optimisation and other value-adding tasks, including supporting Senior Analysts in the development and maintenance of tools to assist underwriting decisions, identifying patterns and anomalies in data, assessing and projecting risk exposure, supporting event response coordination, and participating in project work and initiatives, including reinsurance support.
