Project Manager: Group Economic Capital Model

Who We Are

SiriusPoint is a global insurance and reinsurance company created from the merger of Third Point Re and Sirius International Insurance Group. We are a top global (re)insurer writing a worldwide portfolio of businesses including Accident & Health, Liability, Property and Specialty.

Bermuda-headquartered and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: SPNT), we are looking at ways to grow intelligently, underwrite profitably, and drive technology innovation in the insurance industry.

Project description

The company is building a Group Economic Capital Model (ECM) to drive business planning, capital allocation, pricing, outwards reinsurance, and the measurement of risk-adjusted return. A key model input is a set of underwriting risk distributions for products and risks the company takes which span attritional, large and catastrophe sources of volatility. The objective is to build a fit-for-purpose Group model with version one scheduled for delivery by year-end 2025 and future model versions to be delivered in subsequent phases in 2026 and beyond.

To achieve success, contributions will be required from several teams across the company including: Underwriting, Actuarial (both Pricing and Reserving), Claims, Catastrophe Modelling / Exposure Management, and Information Technology. The build will also be supported by an external consulting partner to drive progress, technical development, and alignment with industry best practice. Given the multitude of key stakeholders and target timeline for delivery, the company is seeking a highly organized, detail oriented and adept project manager to drive forward the initiative and deliver a first-rate product. The successful candidate will focus on delivery in 2025 and early 2026 with the opportunity to continue supporting future phased delivery beyond the initial phases.
